The morning started off cloudy, but looked like it was going
to clear up, so I decided to head up to Uxbridge to run the Canal/River loop
at River Bend Farm. Unfortunately, the further north I drove, the cloudier it
got. It ended up being an overcast
trip, but at least the drizzle held off until I got home.
I put in at the Hartford Avenue Bridge and paddled into Rice
City Pond to check out the foliage – there wasn’t much to see. The rain and strong wind last
week took out much of the foliage.
I did find Frank and a friend out for a morning paddle.
With nothing to see in Rice City Pond, I crossed over into
the river. Once again, the foliage was pretty sparse. The level was 3.2 feet on the Northbridge gage – low but
runnable. I had to get out of my boat at the end of the canal near the Rice
City Dam, and quickly sank up to my hips in muck. Fortunately, I was able to use my boat to get over to shore.
