Report Details

We walked from Access #50 to the tip of the Salishan Spit.  Almost no trash - picked up 4 small items.  A large group of seals in their usual resting place ... but we were concerned about one who had a red plastic "Flying Ring" toy around its middle.   The animal didn't look like it would be able to wriggle out of the ring so it will probably be stuck with it for the rest of its life.P.S.  I am able to capture the close-up shots with the zoom on my camera so I don't need to harass the seal population by getting too close.

Mile 239

November 12, 2023

Not a bad fall day for a walk with our out-of-town visitors, but walking the beach was impossible due to the high tide and big waves, which were reaching the beach grass area and bouncing large pieces of driftwood around.
