Report Details
Reporting on Mile 10 until an adopter can be found. High tide, very calm day. Six cars with at least that many people when I arrived; none when I left. One person walking a dog. On the south side, several seals resting on the leeward large rocks, four youngsters observed in the high tide water close to shore. I like to think the oldsters kicked them into the pools when the tide covered the rocks. A very pleasant though cloudy day with far fewer people than I see on more weather-challenged days.
