Very interesting walk today.
Report Details
Very interesting walk today. Just south of public beach entry area people were collecting agates as if they were picking strawberries. I had never before seen rock beds exposed here. Near south end of the mile were large areas of exposed low, sculptured rocks giving the impression of an unearthed ancient village from an archeological dig. Bluff erosion is a major concern on this mile but I haven't seen major areas of obviously new erosion.

I'm sorry to say that from quarter to quarter I'm not sure if some rock fall is new or not. This is definitely a high erosion area

Another beautiful day and a very clean beach -- impressive given the full campground at the height of summer.
