Enjoying High and Wide Waters

 

The Egg Rock inscription being fully submerged this past Wednesday translated into high and wide conditions on each of the three rivers emanating from this spot.

Unusual to see the Assabet River sporting so much green vegetation and high water levels in mid-summer...


 
Ideal conditions for this fast growing mushroom...

...which dwarfed an old engine manifold.

Spent a little time around the Concord River's Old North Bridge...

...and Old Calf Pasture...

The higher water levels had trash on the move.  These downriver drifters settled in for a rest at this spot...
...which 6 days earlier had no trash.

One odd find was a 1942 Hood milk bottle floating upside down.  It cleaned-up well...


Left me wondering where it had been hiding all these years.

The week's trash...



While out on the river I also enjoyed listening to the most recent addition to my shuffle's trashpaddling playlist.  It's the song "I Have Been Around" by Marty Stuart from the Johnny Cash tribute album "Forever Words".  Great tune to listen to while paddling against the current...the video's pretty good too.
