Back to a Hot Spot

Got in one last Standard Time paddle yesterday on a 2-mile stretch of the Nashua River from the Oxbow NWR's south end.  The day was a beauty with temperatures in the mid fifties F. and winds being relatively calm for a change.  River levels remain high and the meadows near the Still River were flooded over...


A little after noontime a later than usual CXST freight train (Q427) crossed the river on its way towards Worcester providing some moving graffiti to compliment to the bridge's permanent drawings...


Moving at a slow pace it took awhile until the last car cleared the bridge...


This was first visit to this stretch of the Nashua in 2022.  It was a hot spot for trash last year and yesterday it provided yet another bounty of plastic containers, Styrofoam, and nip bottles...


Counted the nips...211 of them.
