Mile 237 Report

It was a beautiful day for a mile report walk.
Report Details
It was a beautiful day for a mile report walk. I noticed some erosion along the bluff that is currently in the application process to restore/repair and install at least a 30' high revetment. Further north I took a picture of a recently OPRD approved stretch that will begin rip-rapping probably next month (this is just north of mile 237 into 238.) Thought folks would like to see the 'before' pics and I'll take some later after the project commences and give progress reports.
Conditions
Temperature: 48 F. Cloud Cover: Sunny. Wind Velocity: Calm/Light. Tide Level: 3.0 feet.

Number of people: 3. Sitting: 3.
Other Activities: A horse owner also was walking her horses northbound to enjoy this beautiful day too (see pic)..
Notable Wildlife
No birds flying around this morning...
Wrackline Content
I took a pic of the high-tide wrack line, which was about 2 feet from the recently installed rip-rap; sure doesn't leave a lot of beach...
Natural Changes
Erosion of vegetated foredune.
Current area of some erosion with both a north and south emergency breakwaters approved at the first of the year by OPRD.
Mid-tide (outgoing) about 1/4 mile north into my mile-- thankfully, I was able to get by between the tide and revetment.
Nice to see the beach is mean not just for people!
Some obvious erosion of the bluff with old rip-rap below...
A pic of the wrack line just short of the revetment that was finished last Summer...
A pic of a recently OPRD approved section of rip-rap planned for 620 feet of shoreline to a height of 33 feet above sea level extending up to 60 feet onto the beach.

Beautiful day on the beach; I walked close to the shore on an outgoing tide.

Beautiful morning for a mile walk! Nothing of any note-- I included a few pics of the revetment project going on just north of my mile that is ongoing.

A beautiful day to be out on the beach, so why not report a mile or so?

Beautiful morning for a mile walk! If all of the revetment projects in process proceed with OPRD's approval there could be a total of 18 properties with construction/riprap taking place by June.

I couldn't do my mile because of the tide and accompanying intrusion due to relentless rip-rapping revetments.
