Second Dip Into the Horn of Plenty


Returned to the Nashua River in Harvard, MA to re-visit a nature-made trash trap I'd encountered late in a paddle last week.  The overnight rain/wind storm had subsided leaving fairly mild and breezy conditions for late November.  Heading downriver clouds quickly thickened and the light got kind of weird...
...just before a brief squall came through the area.

Just as the brief shower ended I reached my objective...

It proved to be one of the most effective trash traps I've ever seen...sort of like one-stop-shopping.

From this trap I recovered 252 miniature alcohol bottles (aka "nips") which is a new record for me and  doesn't include the 50 or so I got from this same spot last week...

  
My year-to-date total of miniatures is now 2,813 with 2,085 of those gathered from the Nashua River.
