Actions & Comments

No action taken. Unfortunately camera didn't work when trying to take photos of the twisted rope, the plywood crate or the above-mentioned reenforcer.

Henderson Creek, South Beach SP south

This time I concentrated on the area south of Henderson Creek where there is more activity. Photo submitted, & will be the last one. Beach was quite clean and probably because of the beach clean-up activities the previous Saturday.
