MYSTIC RIVER
The Mystic River winds through Medford, Massachusetts near my house. Early one morning, a rare July day clear and dry with almost no humidity, the river was so still with hardly a ripple. From this vantage point, it is hardly noticable that a parkway runs along side and a railroad viaduct crosses nearby. But when one is on the Mystic in canoe or kayak, visually you could be almost anywhere, deep in the Maine woods or the New Hampshire mountains, unaware of the urban surroundings just beyond the trees at the river’s edge.
