Report Details
It was a pleasant, warm day to share the 804 Trail and beach with quite a few visitors. The beach was clear of natural and human debris except for a large number of lion's mane jellyfish, greater than I have seen before. After some research, I learned lion's mane can grow very large, and there is fascinating information about them on Wikipedia.

This is my first walk and report since losing my canine companion, Westly, over a year ago. The only important observation in this report is tire tracks from illegal driving on the beach.

Walking north oh Wayside Lodge I saw 15 or so dead Black Turnstone. That was the only species of bird that was dead. Lots of plastic bottles that I picked up.

I was just curious if a person who is knowledgeable about geology could explain what I'm seeing in the cliff here?

Walking mile 195 has resumed, now that steps from the 804 trail to the beach, in the middle of the mile, are back up.
