Chesapeake to Star In IMAX Movie

Water keeps getting in the way of Whitaker Center’s Expedition Chesapeake project. Canadian film director David Lickley was in Harrisburg on Wednesday to scout locations along the Susquehanna River for Whitaker’s upcoming 3-D Imax film about the vast Chesapeake Bay watershed. He got rained out, a common scenario in central Pennsylvania during what has been the wettest year on record.
Heh, yeah, it was a pretty wet year around here, what with the Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee.  And we just got 2 more inches yesterday.  I hope they got some good flooding shots.
...In late September, a promotional kayak trip on the river with celebrity biologist and film narrator Jeff Corwin likewise was washed away in the wake of historic flooding caused by the remnants of Tropical Storm Lee. “This seems to be a film truly about water,” Dauphin County Commissioner Jeff Haste said Wednesday during a news conference at the riverfront Fort Hunter Mansion in Susquehanna Twp.
Come on by Jeff, I'm sure we can find a toad or two for your toad licking problem.
