At the Bedford Landing my passengers and I stretched out on solid ground...
There were 43 recyclable containers (16 redeemable) and 20 pieces of miscellaneous rubbish.
YTD = 7194.
One unusual find was this old bottle found upside down with the neck wedged between some roots...
Someone insists on having a trash bag at the Bedford Landing, despite the fact that animals can easily open it at the bottom...
The mink assured me it wasn't him.
On the trip back upriver, I encountered Lisa H. paddling her QCC 600 near the Old North Bridge...
And just before reaching Lowell Road, another mink...
Finally, back at Egg Rock, the sun was setting behind Nashawtuc Hill...
This spot could truly be called "Mattawa" as it is where the waters meet.

Wow - those mink pictures are pretty cool. Saw two beavers last week on the Nipmuc, but never a mink (or a river otter). You always manage to get some great shots.
mink or fisher?
Mark, I'm no expert but think the small size and white markings near the chin indicate mink. The one popping out of the turrets was first seen swimming in the river, though I guess the fisher can also swim. Whichever they are, they are very curious and fairly bold.
Hi, Al, I gave the trash bag a decent burial today, took it and a tire directly to the transfer station. Inside the trash bag (I didn't dig too deep because of the yuck factor) there were hundreds of shot bottles. At $2.50 each (some had price tags) they must have cost at least $500. Can't understand what type of person does his drinking that way! Recycled much but not all. -Lisa
Lisa, Nice work! The "Nipster" is a strange and secretive drinker.
Why he would dispose of the bottles that way is difficult to understand.
