Mile 152 Report
Oregon Dunes NRA, north of Threemile Creek
April 28, 2008
A quiet Monday walk on a quiet beach.
Report Details
A quiet Monday walk on a quiet beach. There was evidence of ATV action over the weekend--tire tracks in the sand. We picked up a garbage bag of trash, including a plastic bottle from China. Otherwise, nothing of note. Sparrow Park Road is increasingly difficult to manage, however. The first part had been newly graveled, but the last 2 miles were full of deep potholes that couldn't be avoided.

A nice day to walk the beach, and a good day for fishing, apparently.

Very high tide and wave action and not much beach, so we were a bit uneasy, looking at the bluffs in case we needed to scamper up them.

The beach itself is beautiful and showed little signs of ATV usage except for plastic bottles and other trash.

It was a beautiful day on Mile 152 and we were the only people (and dog) on the beach.
