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.

Mile 239
Salishan Spit north, Siletz Bay
Our mile has become very hard to get to, as most of the beach accesses in the Salishan community have been eroded by a combination of king tides and winter storms.

The marine layer stayed offshore while we were walking our mile so it turned out to be a nice day.

Mile 239
Salishan Spit north, Siletz Bay
This dispatch covers the entire spit - miles 237, 238, 239 There were no remarkable events: people, nature, trash, marine life It was just a wonderful walk to the tippy end of the spit, where a crowd of lounging dudes greeted us. We walked out three miles on the ocean side and walked back through the neighborhood, which borders the bay side.
