With a beautiful day at hand and more people in town than usual there was a bit more activity than usual, but this is still a lightly used area with no apparent threats. There are magnificent tide pools at the foot of House Rock overlook, but I have never seen anyone down there until this visit, when there was a group of four tidepoolers..Sighting of a golden eagle was a first for me.

The difficulty of access and the State Park protection of Mile 12 continue to isolate it from any appreciable signs of human intrusion.

It's hard to believe that Coastwatchers want miles where something happens; usually, what happens is not good.
