Report Details
I walked through mile 222 on the way to and from my mile which is 221. I entered from the Wade Creek access where there were 8 cars parked. (Last Sunday there were 17 cars parked here which is by far the most I've seen.) I observed 23 people including 6 chidlren. The tide was low and 4 people were searching through exposed rocks for agates and fossils. Another was searching for fossils along the base of the cliff. There were 2 groups picnicing. I observed a total of 6 dogs, 5 of them unleashed. Unlike mile 221 which had no birds, there was a large group of birds along this mile. I do not know what they were but I've seen them several times and attached a picture taken last year. There were no gulls. There was some picnic debris and bits of sparklers and other fireworks debris near Wade Creek as well as evidence of 2 campfires but in general, the beach was clean.
Conditions
Temperature: 70 F. Cloud Cover: Sunny. Wind Velocity: Calm/Light. Wind Direction: NW. Tide Level: 0.2 feet.

Mile 222
Moolack Beach N, Coal Creek, S of Wade Creek
The beach fire close to vegetation, and somewhat close to access point was the main unusual concern to report, otherwise just the usual concern of trash.

Notable highlights: relatively small landslide at the mile's middle parking lot; large piece of shipping debris; large tree debris (unusual to see large natural or unnatural debris at this mile; the usual trash (though as usual, less than seen at miles 223 and 224 to the north); a bald eagle and barn swallows!
