 This tire has wedged itself onto a tree root in the mud and behind a stump. It's just upstream of the piers from the old Charles Avenue bridge at the mouth of the Nashwaak. I might be able to get at it with a shovel.  Mouth of the Nashwaak on an autumn morning. |
The Nashwaak splits into two channels around an island as it merges with the Saint John. There is only one more tire to remove that I can see from the walking bridge, as of September 2009. However, there are more upstream around the Neil's Farm bend, some of them tractor tires weighing perhaps a hundred kilos or more.
