The Mighty Merrimack

The pictures are a view of the Merrimack River.  At times its current is very swift.  The river was the main stay of the growth of Manchester NH in the early part of the twentieth century.  The river provided power to run the numerous textile mills built alongside the river.   Today it is a favorite of those who enjoy running its rapids on canoes and kayaks.  For me it is an enjoyable site to see the power of nature and to remember its history.
