Mile 100 Report
Johnson Creek, Bandon Beach
May 1, 2013
Wind was the dominating factor in today's CoastWatch walk.
Report Details
Wind was the dominating factor in today's CoastWatch walk. Wind blew the sand, and the sand covered everything or swept the beach clean, thus accounting for the fact that I have almost nothing to report on the beach. Wind, I think, also explains the lack of humans, sea animals and sea birds. Trying to walk against the wind was the most exciting experience I had. Wind, wind, wind.
