Numbers 111-114, Saint John RiverJune 16, 2009The easy, smaller ones are getting rarer and rarer, and farther away from my shoreline. There are still a fair number of small tires that will become reachable once the river runs shallower in August and September. The tires remaining are too big for one person to remove. I'll recruit someone with a winch or come-along to give me a hand. I'm confident I'll find someone to help me out. |
 This tire lay ten feet out in shallow water. I snared it with my hook and hauled it onto the shore. |
 I had to shovel out Number 112 for a couple of minutes, but it was no big deal. |
 I wasn't going to get any more, but this one lay clean and easy on the sand. |
 I spied this bicycle tire three feet away, and fished it out of the bushes with my canoe pole. |
 This monster was five feet away from Number 111. It must weigh a hundred pounds, and there must be just as much mud-weight in it. Who has a come-along and a plank to help me load it into my canoe? |
 The centre span of the Princess Margaret Bridge peeks out from under a span of the Bill Thorpe Walking Bridge. |
