Mile 244 Report
March 25, 2018
This was a holiday weekend.
Report Details
This was a holiday weekend. The parking at Roads End State Park is not adequate for the number of vehicles trying to find a parking spot on a sunny day. Cars were parked into the neighboring streets.People were carving names into the cliffs, particularly the area below Chinook Winds resort. 2 young men were surf fishing. I did approach them and tell them that it isn't allowed as I looked into their bucket holding a small perch. They said they didn't know and continued fishing. I did them it's a marine reserve with no fishing and it's posted on the signs at the park. Except for a lot of people, not much notable except a pair of mallard ducks who seem to be nesting nearby as I have seen them at the beach in the shallow waves a number of times recently.

Today was a beautiful day to walk on the beach with a dog or to take photos of the birds.

Although there are signs prohibiting fires and fireworks, they don't seem to be enforced.

I've attached photos of what appears to be a homeless shelter built into a cliff wall and a picture of children digging in the cliff wall.

What stays the same here and needs attention is the plastic drainage pipes hanging down the cliff from private property that drain onto the beach.
