Report Details
Post-storm, many driftwood logs, most with burn charring. Beach generally pretty clean, with just scattered bits of small debris; biggest items were one bath towel and one sock draped over a log. One "No climbing" warning sign made almost unreadable with graffiti (photo included).Overall, quite enjoyable -- first calm, sunny day in weeks. However, the perpetual caves are still waiting to trap a kid or two at the Roads End Wayside bluff.

What stays the same here and needs attention is the plastic drainage pipes hanging down the cliff from private property that drain onto the beach.
