Maybe. They get internet via satellite out there, but it's pretty slow unless you are willing to pay. The Village administration offices/clinic had a decent connection, but definitely not fast enough to stream. It was even struggling with FB and EB the night I stayed there, and I was the only person on the connection. Individual homes may not have internet at all, I am guessing.

This past Saturday was Ohio River Paddlefest. They shut down a 9 mile section of the river to all motorized boat traffic...no barges, no motor boats, no jet skis, no nuthin'...and a couple thousand paddlers take over. It was $75 for all 3 of us to go but I figured paddling the Ohio River through downtown Cincy isn't something you'd get to do any other day, safely anyway. I was very impressed with both of them, I brought some line in case one of them needed a tow, but they made the full 9.5 mile trip.

Seeing 2,000+ kayaks, canoes and SUP's out at one time was pretty impressive. Makes for a lot of fun when you're out with a lot of other people too.
The 10yo (in glasses) is your typical iPod addict. He would have spent the whole weekend on the couch or sitting on his bed if I'd let him. He started to fade pretty hard about 2 miles from the end. I asked him if he wanted to use the rope. When he asked how much further I told him that I thought it was around the next bend. He said he didn't want the rope. He wanted to do it himself.

There was a mid-point "party". Basically just a spot where you could get out, refill water bottles, use the port-o-jon, etc. They did have a band playing though. There were safety boats stationed along the course too, usually good size houseboat types. Most of those had bands on the upper decks playing too.

Yeah. It was the only plane that was roped off, too. You could approach any of the others (F-16, F-15, F-18, Apache, B-52, etc.) for a much more detailed look.
Note the reflectiveness of the paint - it's not glossy, but it has a metallic tone to it. Part of the radar absorbing system, according to the pilot we were talking to.

When we did the Lockheed-Martin tour back in cub scouts a few years ago you couldn't even take a camera into the building and then you got an extra pat down before you walked near the F-22. We saw one of the last three being built (or so the guide said) but it was a really cool plane to see up close like that. Totally different from the other stuff..
Did you get one of the B-52 in the background?

OK here's some more. The B-52 was visiting from Louisiana. We sat underneath the fuselage for a good 30 minutes waiting in line for a tour of the cockpit. Finally the officer giving the tours came down and told us that it was near 100 degrees inside, and my son decided he didn't want to go in:
