Mile 195 - South San Marine Beach, Starr Creek - September 2, 2013

Report Details

This is my first report for Mile 195, which I walked on Labor Day evening, starting 1/4 mile south at Smelt Sands State Park. I made a round trip with my dog from 6:00-7:45 p.m. Counts (27 persons and 7 dogs) are reported only for the northward leg. There were slightly more visitors than usually seen on my walks here, likely because of the holiday weekend. No unusual debris or human activity was seen.

It was a pleasant, warm day to share the 804 Trail and beach with quite a few visitors.

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.
