"Locked Up" - a photo on Flickriver

"Locked Up"

            We were riding through Appleton, Wisconsin one day in 2012 when we noticed all of these kayakers jammed into one of the locks along the Fox River.  This is an annual event where people take their kayaks or canoes, or whatever, and paddle through all  of the locks as the channel works its way through Appleton on its way to Green Bay.

People paddled into each lock until it was packed. The lock tender then closed the back gate and the water was pumped out lowering everyone down to the next level.  They spent more time in the locks than in the channel. But, everyone was having a great time, as you can see in the image.
