Mile 29 - Rogue River North Jetty, Wedderburn, Knox Rock - June 16, 2021

Report Details

Really, it's a fairly unused beach, except for the truck access. Most locals know that they can access the beach here to drive to Otter Point. That is the main use. It is also regularly used by kite surfers, but no one was out this day. It was crazy windy this day, and it was just myself and the 2 volunteers that were out walking that day. Nothing else out of the ordinary, and no large trash, except for the drainage pipes. I did find a green hat!

New Development

Drainage pipes. I don't think it is new development. Rather, it seems to have been unearthed from recent erosion. This area is just west of the sewer treatment ponds.

Actions & Comments

I was thinking I would call the sewer treatment plant and ask abou tthe pipes. It was new to me!
