Actions & Comments
Major erosion on this mile this winter. The beach has very little sand, but lots of rocks, and the beach is way below the top of the bank, which is all riprap. Beach is extremely narrow in one section, and you cannot walk on it. You have to detour inland to get around that section. The buried ancient forest is exposed on south end of beach.

Stunningly beautiful today ~ yesterday, too - but today the clouds were dancing with one another ~ storm clouds with white puffy and promises of blue sky off and on.

It is almost as though you've entered a magical world that has been untouched by the hurriedness of inland.
