Google Movie - Cottonwood Creek, Alaska

[deepmud]

Tried out my Christmas gift of a GoPro hat  -  I think I aimed down too much, needs another sunny day with more footage "facing out" edited into the mix - but in the meantime, Google put this together for me - ain't perfect but it's done...

Cottonwood Creek, I went to the outlet, then up to the inlet creek and Google figures I will never get around to editing it so it did it for me...

What a beautiful place to paddle.

Cool. Nice job. Yes it would be nice to see the surroundings of that beautiful water.

Thanks I got up at 6 and made it out again this morning. GoPro decided not to work but my cell phone and my Sony RX100 worked (both have waterproof cases). I show a LOT of this little network of lakes and streams 'cause it's close - and it's pretty.

I have a bunch of pics from a 6 hour paddle on Jim Creek a month ago that haven't become "a story" yet to post up too. 5 moose (7 if you count the calves) were in the water with me on that one.

Pic is from the morning about 6:45 am (link cause it's not on photobucket but Google - and a big pano)

Gorgeous looking place flat water paddle. Looks very serene and inviting.

Thanks for sharing.

I bet there are some chunky Rainbows in that creek.

Lots! This is the same creek I've posted with the red salmon too. The connected lakes provide the boat fishermen frequent 15"-ish trout and I've seen lots of 12" trout in the creeks. I see LOTS more aquatic life from the SUP perspective - not very often when I'm kayaking - part of what I like about paddle  boarding.

Great collection of shots. Gorgeous. The panoramic shot turned out really well.

SUPing the creeks.... now you're talking my language, I love that kind of touring!

Totally beautiful and serene.... thanks!

You live in a beautiful place Mud. Enjoy your summer. I'm picturing the BBQ with a little lemon butter marinade.....mmmmm..

Thanks SuptheCreek - as I've said before, your videos and pics are my inspiration.

TallDude the fresh salmon as BBQ are awesome here I can't fish for the Reds in this creek but salmon fishing and harvesting isn't far.

I've made another video, this time actually tried to edit on my phone a bit, it's pretty long at 5 minutes - I'm working on my skills
