Nashua River Ecoli Count

Stay in your boat! The Nashua telegraph just reported some results of ecoli testing after this long stretch of rain. Ecoli count is supposed to be below 88 for swimming - Pepperell launch tested at 1000.

And... if you see kids swimming or jumping off the bridge - do them a favor and tell them please!!

Nashua River - getting better

Just a quick post about this year - the river is looking better than any year recently. I'm very pleased with the condition. I do need to look at where the small island is about a mile above the 2nd rt. 117 crossing and between 117 and the Oxbow, but I worked those late in the season last year so I'm hoping for good things.
Otherwise between 119 and the Oxbow in Harvard looks decent - a couple runs and we're clear.
