Mile 200 - Big Stump Beach, south Patterson SP - May 28, 2007

Report Details

The weather was perfect all Memorial week-end. Very few people in the Waldport area. As a side note, I heard we have nutria in the inlets, and I have not seen any signs of this invasive species. We will be down there all July 4th week and will keep our eyes out. I was surprised by the dead seal, you rarely see them. I did see quite a bit of the yellow flagged iris up by the river north where the dead whale was located.
