Mile 167 Report
South end Siuslaw South Jetty Road
May 28, 2012
Nothing much to report.
Report Details
Nothing much to report. However, around June 3, I walked from parking lot #2 going north to parking lot 4 (on the beach) and fortunately had with me four huge Bi-Mart plastic bags about 30"X25"X12:. I picked up (on two trips up and over the dunes) many LARGE pieces of Styrofoam on the beach. I carried them over the fore-dune to the trash barrels at the two parking lots, where I wedged them between the trash barrels as they were too big to fit inside. I've never seen that much Styrofoam and such big pieces! on the beach. Source???
