2 REPORTS FOR MILE 60: CapeWalker Feb 3, 2013 9:30 AM   Just me and Matt and one other person walking this mile. Mild weather, sea calm and not many animals or birds seen. One dead harbor seal and poss. fulmar remains on beach. Normal amounts of wooden debris, more plastic debris closer to Floras Lake, less closer to Blacklock. Can'nt wait for next hike. Later CapeWalker   MORE    Lost Beach    lost Beach    CapeWalker Aug 5, 2012 11:30 AM   Began walk at bridge crossing outlet at Floras Lake. Head for gap in fore dune, wide and high sand beaches. Some beaches had mini sand dunes cut by wave action. A few people on the beach, some sitting on rock and watching seas. Weather overcast and foggy mostly, air temp not bad, that old sweater help with wind from SE. Cliff/bluffs in various stages of erosion, some new slumping and sliding, a mudstone arch just below bluffs, never seen that before. You run out of beach in a ways, so doubled back to pocket beach and old road up to bluffs, probably early coastal trail. Back in the shore pine and spruce forest, signs of fungi, discovery of small serving of golden fungi, that coast marine layer is very stimulating. Final broke out of coastal wind swept forest, could it be bonsai? It is so tight in spots. Back out along Flores Lakes beach side and return to take out. Heard it was 90ish in Eugene, glad I was here with fog and cool marine layer. The seas were medium waves, great crashing sound and beach could be walk the whole way there and back.   MORE    Mile 59-60    Description: Walking N. of Floras Lake
