Escaping It All on the Nashua

Felt very lucky to get out on the Nashua River in Lancaster, MA, yesterday.  Social distancing wasn't a problem as I didn't encounter another soul.  Launched from Seven Bridge Road (aka Rt. 117) and found numerous obstacles in the form of blow downs.  The fallen trees across the river act as trash traps, especially for plastic items...

This particular plastic item serves to remind us all of the need for keeping our heads...

Hard to believe that just a few weeks ago "going viral" was considered a good thing.

The day was a beauty and our early spring continues...

Getting out on the river got my mind off of the virus/pandemic issues and concerns.  Gathered up a fair amount of plastic while doing so...

The haul included 76 nip bottles which is surprising (even to me) for just a 1.5 mile stretch of river.

Over the course of several hours I managed to lose myself in the river and it was strange to seemingly awaken back to the new normal on the short drive home.  Hope all stay well!
