Notes

The water was steady, lots of natural debris(leaves ) All of the leaves have fallen from right bank. The Japanese knotweed is just changing color to deep mustard yellow. Ask Elaine who installs garbage cans in town. this site is disgusting, with condoms, and empties. The rocks are slippery and the leaves covering the rocks and the river are slippery and hard to gauge where the water is.
