We'd both gone to the Assabet River on this hot and muggy afternoon. The young buck (photo at left) was between Russell's Bridge, where I'd launched from, and Crow Island.
Before encountering him, I'd paddled down to Ben Smith Dam with a short foray into Taylor Brook. Usually the space under the former railroad bridge is clogged with debris. However, today it was passable and allowed entry into the brook...
Once through, another old bridge spans the brook...
The area where the brook enters the Assabet is behind the Maynard Dept. of Public Works.
Returning to the river, I made my way up to Sudbury Road before rumbles of thunder sent me back to Russell's Bridge.
A modest batch of trash was collected...
There were 24 recyclable containers (14 redeemable) and 7 pieces of miscellaneous rubbish.
YTD = 3180
My last glimpse of the buck...

I think the pond behind the Maynard DPW is called Thanksgiving pond
