Mile 168 Report
Central South Siuslaw Jetty Road
March 21, 2008
I had a nice walk with the dogs.
Report Details
I had a nice walk with the dogs. The only other people were other beach regulars with their dogs. Everyone was enjoying the beautiful day. The only debris on the beach was some small rocks and shells, and the normal amount of driftwood. The foredune is still badly eroded, especially at the second parking lot where you have to climb down a small sand cliff to get on the beach. I also visited the beach on the 25th, and walked to the Bella. She is still very visable, and actually has moss growing on her from the 3 months of exposure.
