Here's a look at our pretty river - the Blackstone - which 7 of us paddled from Plummer's Landing in Northbrige to Uxbridge
on a beautiful and unseasonably warm October day. It was the same stretch of river which our club had paddled last spring,
and hiked along just a few weeks ago.
|
We once again teamed up with Friends of The Blackstone for our trip. Mark, who was one of our guides, paddled his kayak
down the river with us.
|
Lana paddled down the river with Nora, who organized the trip.
|
Katie and Ali paddled another canoe.
|
|
|
Scott and Krittika hopped in a third canoe.

|
With help from Keith and Mark from Friends of the Blackstone, we not only had a great canoeing trip down the river
but decided to help clean it up along the way. Lana and Nora have recovered a road constuction traffic barrel,
complete with blinking light on top!
|
By the end of the day, our booty from the river consisted of 4 tires (including one with rims), one child’s plastic
picnic table, an oil drum, assorted bottles and cans, tennis balls, and the construction barrel! It was an unexpected
turn of events, but we all had a great time and were happy to have left the river in better shape!
