Mile 209 - Ona Beach north of Beaver Creek, Tracy Creek - September 21, 2007

Report Details

There were car tracks at Lost Creek in two tight circle patterns. On September 15 I was walking on this mile at 9:00AM and found a 4' log, still burning from some partying the night before. There were also cloths and fireworks remains around. I took the trail to the nearest house, where a man in his early 20s came out. I told him of the burning log, which he said was theirs. He said they covered it with sand, which I told him wouldn't do it. He agreed to do it properly. On my return trip he and three others had the area policed up well. On my thanks, he said they were doing it for the ocean.
