The signage is up again keeping all dogs off Mile 289.
Report Details
The signage is up again keeping all dogs off Mile 289. By all means, dogs need to be on leash and kept out of the sensitive areas. But to exclude dogs only and by inference allowing any other type of animal with a leash is wrong. So much for windmill tilting.

Actions & Comments
The dog and I went to the edge of Mile 289. The signs are posted but only a small amount of fence was established. Since dogs even on leash are not allowed on the mile, we turned around and went back. The dog is a family member, and trips on the beach will always include her.

I saw so many different types of birds along the jetty, I'm no bird expert but I thought I saw pelicans, herons, cormorants, and sea gulls.
