Mile 162 Report
Oregon Dunes NRA, west of North Beach
March 20, 2020
My first time on this mile.
Report Details
My first time on this mile. The beach time I spent was at low tide and the beach area was very deep. No log on the beach but old looking driftwood and gnarly stump up near the dunes. In the middle of the my mile was this large long section of 1/2 to 1 inch shells about an inch thick. It was like a loose but thick mosaic of shells. Wished I'd had my camera. It was unusual. Like what you might see on a beach in the tropics.
