Everything is iced in - February 9, 2014

After snowshoeing yesterday, I was determined to paddle this morning.  One of the sections of the Blackstone that usually stays open all winter is above the Blackstone Gorge.  Today it was frozen solid.  So was the section at Cold Spring Park.  I ended up at River Island Park and played around for about 45 minutes before calling it quits.  It does seem that there is more ice on the river this year than there has been in the past… or maybe I’m just ready for spring.
