Mile 110 - Merchants Beach, Seven Devils State Wayside - May 5, 2013

Report Details

I planned to access the mile from the Oregon Coast Trail access on Toyko Ln. A new locked gate and Private Property sign have been placed on the road, with no signage depicting the trail. Also, there is now no safe place to park to access the trail, so I sadly turned the car around and headed for my usual access, Seven Devils Wayside. There is only one place to park on Toyko Ln, which is at the trailhead going south from Toyko Ln, which is where the trail was relocted a few years ago to route it around the ocean front golf course. However, the only place to park is in front of a gate to an access road. I did not feel comfortable leaving my car there, as I would be blocking access to the road, so I didn't park there either. . . I did not walk the beach for mile 110, so will not fill out the rest of this report. I'll attach a couple of photos of the gate blocking Toyko Ln.
