Report Details
Lots of dritwood accumulation along the southern portion of mile 290. We picked up approximately 2 lbs of trash, a lot less than other mile walks. My most interesting find is what I believe was a skate egg case, this one was bigger than my hand. In past years I have observed pines falling towards the beach along Camp McGruder property, this year there seemed to be more. (see photos)

Post 4th beach clean up is a yearly clean up I do because the public always leaves a mess behind them.
