Mile 121 - Gregory Point, Lighthouse Beach, Mussel Reef - March 18, 2012

Report Details

The piece of a dock that was reported in December remains on the beach. Folk are using it as a trash can. Guess that could be better than throwing trash all over. Waiting for Person Phillips from state parks to return call regarding this. Drainage pipes seem to be multiplying. I will have go take a count and keep track. The beach has good infill of sand, but the pipes create streams that make valleys.The trail is really muddy, and one of the "steps" has washed out. The house that appears to be about a yard from the top of the cliff seems to be edging ever closer.
