The cliff continues to erode. I think we will be able to witness the isolation of the headland rock from the uplifted basalt cliffs within my lifetime. The beach seems barren: there's so few birds, shoreline, raptors, woodland. OBSERVER Lvoelker EMAIL   •  REPORT PUBLISHED 9/22/08 4:32 PM PHOTOS PRINTER-FRIENDLY ©2013 Oregon Shores •  CONTACT US
