Last Paddle for Awhile

 

The Nashua River had a lot of pines leaning in this past Monday on what I suspect will be my last paddle of 2022.  My boat's power plant needs some work and will be mothballed for the rest of this year.

Knowing this I decided to launch at Petapawag in Groton, MA and head up the Nashua.  The day was pleasant for December with not too much wind and temperatures in the mid to upper forties.

Reached the confluence of the Nashua and Squannacook with enough time to push on a little further...


Then the race was on to get back to Petapawag before sunset...and it was close...

...seeing the Rt. 111/119 bridge just after taking the above photo...
...and closing out my paddling year.

My last trash haul of 2022...

...which included 42 nip bottles.
