The recent flooding and landslides on the Siletz River has deposited many times the amount of trees, logs and root balls! Several beach drift wood structures already include house debris pieces! I triple checked on the pelican since most had already gone south for the winter.

It was a beautiful sunny day but suspect the very strong wind reduced the number of visitors.
