Mile 335 - Columbia Beach, Coffenbury Lake, Fort Stevens SP - April 16, 2013

Report Details

Sunny day with mild wind from the west. There were 9 cars at the access point (Peter Iredale). We saw 3 people walking on our mile, plus 2 people trying to get a parasail into the air, for a total of 5 people. Nine cars drove by, plus one low ATV pulling a parasail. We didn't see any notable wildlife, dead or alive. There was less debris on the beach than usual, and hardly any styrofoam, probably because of recent beach cleanups. There were quite a few pieces of weathered milled lumber though, more than we're used to seeing.
