Anyone interested in a Plummers Landing run on Saturday morning. I've heard that there is a boat and dry bag pinned on a beaver dam that needs to be recovered - owner needs their keys. Should be at nice level, but running fast. Cold water gear if you want to help recover the boat.

I'd opt for early Saturday morning - meet at 9:30 or 10:00.

I don't think the sun is going to shine - going to be raining, but what the heck. I'd still like to paddle something. Plumbers is as good as anything.

Bill and I had to put up with a little rain, and a few blow-downs, but we still had a nice run on the Blackstone from Plummers Landing to Route 16. There was lots of wildlife out today – herons, turkeys, deer, osprey, red tail hawk, and even a Bald Eagle. Two blow-downs completely block the river just after the canal, but the portage is easy. Otherwise, we were able to paddle over or around everything.
