4 REPORTS FOR MILE 143: AnnMissy Jan 20, 2013 1:30 PM   Beach looked good other than some bluffing from the higher water. Not too much garbage to collect. Had an enjoyable walk with our daughter, son-in-law, grandsons and two dogs. One grandson found about a dozen, intact sand dollars.   MORE    Sunny day at the beach    Interesting tree stump    Date: Jan 20, 2013 12:00 AM AnnMissy Oct 14, 2012 2:00 PM   The mile was very quiet with no notable changes. The day was cloudy and windy so not a very nice day to be on the beach. There was lots and lots of kelp in several locations along the mile. We, and our dog, were the only people on the beach.   MORE    mounds of kelp    Description: We found many mounds of kelp...more than we generally see. Date: Oct 14, 2012 12:00 AM more kelp    Date: Oct 14, 2012 12:00 AM AnnMissy Mar 26, 2012 10:15 AM   Mile 143 is pretty non-exciting. Just basic sand movement and usual shells, drift wood, bird etc. We saw no dead wildlife or physical changes. Were several plastic bottle that we picked up along with some other "man-made" items. There were 5 in our group (daughter & grandsons) and two dogs. There were few other people especially as we moved farther south on the beach. Both people and dogs were enjoying a nice walk on the beach. Shoreline seemed normal with really nothing to report. Have included pictures of our time on Mile 143   MORE    Spring Break Walk on the beach    Description: Grandsons and daughter helped us walk our beach mile while they were visiting during spring break. We had our faithful helper dogs with us. Ours is Amos (picture included). He was tired out as we all were. Was a fun time. Location: Oregon Coast Mile 143 On our way back with collected garbage    Date: Mar 26, 2012 12:00 AM Big pile of kelp    Walking the beach    Interesting log decorations    twright Sep 8, 2007 5:00 PM   Less than the normal invertebrates.
