Nashua River by Kayak, 8/21

From Paul Ippolito and Diana Fruguglietti:

On Sunday August 21st in conjunction with the Merrimack River Watershed Council Diana and I led a
kayak trip on the Nashua River from Lancaster to Oxbow.  Sixteen boats with 17 participants joined;
one from Stamford, CT who was happy to join as her local bird club doesn't offer a kayak trip.

kayaks.
