Do I need a state park sticker to park at Big Foot Beach State Park for a class or event? YES! We support our local state park and want you to, too (check out http://www.friendsofbfbsp.org/). You may purchase a daily use pass or an annual sticker:

Where do I park? Turn into the entrance and continue to the ranger station straight ahead. Park in the first lot on the right. If there is no ranger on duty, you can use the self-pay station to your right to pay for your sticker.

Thank you all for joining us for the super fun outing on Lulu Lake. We got some seriously fun female energy together and paddled and laughed and played and paddled some more while we enjoyed the amazing scenery of Lulu Lake. It was a perfect Sunday by my standards and I’m just grateful to have shared it with such wonderful people. Thank you for such an enjoyable day. We’ll do it again. Hope you can join us: Friday Aug 1 for everyone & Sunday Aug 17 ladies only.
Just need to share some gratitude with y’all: Thank you Dave for being our “boat boy” and taking us on the scenic route. We appreciate you giving us your morning and for spying from afar. Thank you Lisa for bringing your soaker and keeping us all cooled off as the day warmed up. It wouldn’t have been the same without the Hummer and your hilarious sense of humor. Thank you. Joanne summed it up best when she said she got everything she ever wanted at Lulu. So glad that you finally got your true kayak experience! Araceli, next time, we’ll do a better job of securing digits for you. It’s a promise. And Eva, we’ll give you and your bow a bit more privacy. Thanks for that beautiful moment, though. Jill, thank you for joining and helping us out. Congrats Cow Girl! It was a day of firsts for lots of us! Marsha, I hope we got you enough sun to last you the next five days. I think my favorite line of the day was yours about our canoeists. Still laughing…..And Rebecca, we all thank you for letting us in on the “true” nanny diaries. It was a pleasure to have you join us. And I’m glad I got to give you all a compass lesson. I’m still working through that one, but I’m grateful to have shared my first time with all of you.
Don’t forget the pinky swear.
Until next time,
Laura
Way to go Paddlers! Clear Water Outdoor and Friends had a great day at the Delavan Adventure Race on Saturday, June 7. Conditions were brutal, but ideal, for winner Bruce Reek. For all of you who don’t know Bruce, he’s the paddler you see on Lake Geneva on the windiest of days surfing waves with his Yellow Solstice. He came in first in the 12 mile paddle and finished with a strong 5K. Mark Hickey was just 27 seconds behind and Erich Schloemer grabbed third in his rowing scull, “not the most stable boat in conditions!”. Lynn Kizicki placed first for the ladies and Laura Hering came in second, crossing the finish line with Andy Kerwin - Thanks Andy!
It was a really fun day on the water. Great to be out there with fellow paddlers and friends. The Adventure continued after the boats were loaded up and we took turns getting stuck in the mud. Thanks to Bruce, he still had the energy left to pull us out and we experienced a moment of gratitude for the Hummer.
Congrats to Team Clear Water Outdoor who took home great finishes in the Euro, 5K and Adventure Race this past weekend!
In the Euro Marathon, Team CWO finished 2nd, 3rd and 4th overall and 1st place in the Ladies Race. Steve “Horny Toad” Harding, Paddling Pete Witucki and Aaron “The Guide” Luksich finished 2nd, 3rd and 4th overall and our very own Julie Shimer came in 1st place for the ladies, with her very own Bill.
In the Adventure Race, Team CWO’s Wild Mark Hickey and LahLah Laura Hering finished 5th and 6th with Laura placing first for the ladies.
In the 5K, the other Running RahRah Laura Luksich and her sister pushed the first stroller over the finish line - with twin 1 year old boys in it!!!!
Congrats to everyone! You make us so proud!!!!!
