Report Details

The lack of recent storms seem to have brought the sand back on shore. Earlier in January many rocks were visible, but now they are again buried in the sand. No noticable bluff erosion has taken place. There are numerous large tree trunks and pieces of wood at the bluff line. Also unusual is the lack of birdlife. Due to a lack of rain, China Creek and Rock Creek are no longer causing any erosion.
