Mile 208

Ona Beach, south of Beaver Creek

Due to a travel schedule glitch, I happened to visit at the highest tide I've seen on the mile so far. All along the wrackline were thousands of velella velella in clusters. Approaching the very southern end of the mile, I spotted bright pops of yellow by the stream and and my stomach sunk, thinking this must be garbage of some kind. Turning back north, I saw the beautifully strange landmarks starting to reveal themselves as the tide began to recede -- features we'd affectionately named "The Chasm" and "The Runway.

It was an unseasonably sunny and warm winter's visit - the first time we've had clear skies for the duration of our mile walk.

Another exciting day getting to know our mile. We are continually fascinated by the amount of anemones, barnacles, and other sea life concentrated around the largest of the rock formations. As we explore, we are trying to identify which spots we want to regularly photograph and are giving them names to help us remember!

This is Bedrock Theatre's first mile report as official CoastWatchers! It was a beautiful day with patches of blue sky peeking out between clouds. We're excited to continue getting to know this mile more intimately over the coming months and hopefully years!
