Report Details

This is the section of Mile 16 in Sam Boardman Park I call Spruce Island Viewpoint North that includes Arch Rock Viewpoint. Other than a small area just off Hwy 101 that has no barrier, where somebody habitually creates mud puddles with some sort of off road vehicle, little human behavior can take place here other than trail maintenance. Rainstorms tend to cover everything on the rocky cliffs and the small beach coves far below. Rainstorms sometimes allow me to surprise wildlife (or visa versa) like the little owl I saw today. They also disallow any long range viewing up or down the coast or out over the ocean in the few areas I have any views along the trail.

Conditions

Cloud Cover: Rain. Wind Velocity: Moderate.

Concerns

Apparent violations: None that I could see.

Notable Wildlife

small owl in the woods along the trail

Driftline Content

Not a lot of garbage on the the Natural trail, but the Arch Rock trail did have quite a few plastic bottles and pop cans.
