Assabet's Cozy Confines



After having spent several days last week paddling and admiring the majestic scale of the Hudson River in the Catskills Region of New York it nonetheless felt good returning to the friendly confines of my local waters.  This past Monday afternoon I got out on one of my favorite stretches of the Assabet River in Stow and Hudson (MA) and found first-rate conditions for early October...


Nursing a troublesome hamstring I was taking things very slowly and didn't mind at all when I found the portal to Fort Meadow Brook blocked by debris. 

I just continued further upriver and, closer to Gleasondale, stopped my ascent at this fallen tree spanning the river bank to bank...

On the return trip downriver I came upon this blue heron seemingly floating through the weeds...

Very little in the way of trash...
