Mile 102 Report
Coquille River, South Jetty, Lighthouse
May 25, 2014
Some oddities on this mile's southern stretch from the Coquille River this morning: remnants of a drinking party on the beach with littering bottles, chairs and still-hot logs less than 10 feet away from dune grass (I dumped sand on the coals but they were still smoking) just north of the Madison access; 2 Kayaks, 3 visible males, tons of gear and 2 tents just north of the 8th St.
