Glorious day on mile 291!
Report Details
Glorious day on mile 291! Lots of people enjoying the coast. Mild wind, and plenty of sun made the walk highly enjoyable. Nothing of note, other than a high concentration of plastic bottles and an unopened can of beer at the drift line, and an over abundance of a common succulent plant that grows in the dry sand each summer. Today, this stretch of a beach and its human activity appear highly typical for this time of year.
