A check of the water level at Concord's Egg Rock inscription late this morning didn't indicate I'd find a more navigable Assabet River than my last visit on August 8th. Nonetheless I decided to give it a try and was pleased to find enough depth for my boat (with me in it) to make it as far as Spencer Brook.
Recent thunderstorms have helped the Assabet rise perhaps an inch or two, and that relatively small amount makes the difference between my boat floating or running aground.
Willow Island was an island once again...
...and Spencer Brook was actually contributing a little flow to the river...
Additional rainfall would be most welcome.
On my return downriver a fawn was detected in the shrubbery...
...and was curious enough to emerge...
..and approach for a closer look...
No parent was around to discourage such risk-taking.
Some trash found along the way...
