This morning I awoke with the thought that since water levels remain high, Heard Pond in Wayland might be easily accessed from the Sudbury River. After launching at Route 20 and heading upriver, I soon approached the fog enshrouded Pelham Island Road Bridge (at left). The fog would take its sweet time burning-off today.
Further upriver, one coot passed another...
Other wildlife seen today were mute swans, a hawk, and a white-tailed deer.
After passing Indian Point, the winding channel into Heard Pond was followed until the pond itself materialized before me...
A cocoa break was enjoyed on the far shore while the fog continued to hang tough...
Returning to the river, I continued upstream to the Power Lines where I turned around and headed back to Route 20.
Trash recovery efforts today reminded me of one of those television pitch-men saying "but wait....there's more"....
He was right. There ended up being 145 pieces of trash: 83 recyclable containers (10 redeemable) and 62 pieces of miscellaneous rubbish such as soccer balls, styrofoam, plastic, cans of spray paint etc. YTD = 6965
