Mile 107 - Bullards Beach, Cut Creek, Chrome Lake, Round Lake - January 3, 2012

Report Details

Not much to report. Two vehicles drove by (heading north) apparently coming from Cut Creek. No humans or dogs were observed on the beach. Two dead Common Murres were observed towards the southern end of mile 107. No unusual debris was sighted. Some driftwood had washed ashore following the recent rains. There may have been a small landslide at the top of the cliff at the northernmost end of mile 107 (just beneath the Bandon Dunes out of bounds markers). Hard to tell as this area has had slides in the past. The slide only progressed about a third of the way down the cliff.
