Mile 195 - South San Marine Beach, Starr Creek - July 8, 2015

Report Details

It was a great day for hiking, warm and after the July 4 crowds. On the 804 Trail, the first salal berries were ripe, and I photographed a lovely wild rose (photo attached). No unusual natural or human activity was noticed, except for some fireplaces and campsites in woods east of the 804 Trail - probably not new, legality unknown.

Temperature: 64 F. Cloud Cover: Cloudy. Wind Velocity: Calm/Light. Tide Level: 2.0 feet.

Human Activities

Number of people: 17. Number of dogs: 6. Walking or running: 17. Accessed from Overleaf Lodge. A new finding was a network of trails east of the 804 Trail, starting about 1/4 mile south of Overleaf Lodge. There were informal fireplaces and campsites in the woods, including 2 tepees (photo attached). These might be on private land. The legality is unknown to me.

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.
