Mile 122 - Bastendorff Beach west half - September 29, 2011

Report Details

It was a beautiful day to walk the beach. The tide was a bit high for complete tide-pool viewing. THe interesting part of the walk was finding the dead Murre. I hiked up to the mile North of this mile and found 3 more dead Murres. This walk was not long after significantly large 22' swells on the Ocean, I hope that was what caused the upset in the Murres.
