Mile 239 Report
Salishan Spit north, Siletz Bay
September 20, 2018
Had time to walk the Taft side of our mile this afternoon.
Report Details
Had time to walk the Taft side of our mile this afternoon. About 60 people out enjoying the beach. At least 10 fishing from the shore. Four boats in the water at the mouth of the Siletz River - also for fishing. There were NO SEALS at the tip of the Salishan Spit ... must have all been out in the water fishing themselves. Almost no trash which is commendable since this is a highly-used beach. One abandoned campfire which I couldn't put out but was not threatening the driftwood or grass.
Conditions
Temperature: 60 F. Wind Velocity: Calm/Light.

Not a bad fall day for a walk with our out-of-town visitors, but walking the beach was impossible due to the high tide and big waves, which were reaching the beach grass area and bouncing large pieces of driftwood around.
