9 REPORTS FOR MILE 247: mamaotter Apr 8, 2013 12:00 AM   A significant number of people appeared for such a remote mile. Spotted an entire tree deposited on shoreline, as well as clumps of mussels.   MORE  mamaotter Aug 2, 2012 8:15 AM   Sandcastle on the beach. Trawler offshore. Abundant tidepool life.   MORE  mamaotter Jul 24, 2012 7:00 PM   Six sandcastles present. Found some spent fireworks debris.   MORE  rainydaywalker Apr 7, 2012 12:00 PM   It was invigorating to be on the beach again. Short visits due to winter tide conditions and my schedule have limited this activity. I was so taken by the apparent joy among the folks out for their own beach fun, that I decided to photograph the humans, as well as the shell/pebble/wood content of the shoreline. The tops of offshore rocks seemed to be relatively bare of the usual mussels.   MORE  rainydaywalker Jun 1, 2011 12:00 AM   I noted the average in my report, as my walks are frequent, but my reports are few. Have misplaced my log-on identity, so created a new one this afternoon, in order to submit this report.   MORE  jboyden Sep 25, 2009 8:30 AM   A glorious Indian Summer day on this pristine beach. The gulls and brown pelicans had it all to themselves.   MORE    Mile 247    Description: Looking south over Mile 247 Location: about halfway down the Salmon River spit keyhole    Description: Keyhole in bluff at south end of mile 247 Location: south end of open beach of mile 247 jboyden Feb 5, 2008 11:30 AM   The weather was fierce and the tide was high. The beach was clean. No problems to report.   MORE  jboyden Aug 25, 2007 5:00 AM   This mile continues to be very clean. The large number of brown pelicans was the highlight of the day.   MORE  jboyden Sep 24, 2006 4:00 PM   1. No further progress in rock slides on southern basalt wall. Grass is starting to grow on it. 2. The sand has really built up since my last visit [6/18/06]. The rocks at the south end are nearly covered by sand. 3. Lots of gulls. Several crows.
