Mile 293 - Rockaway Beach, State Wayside - December 1, 2020

Report Details

Beach was pretty clean, just a few shells and rocks, mostly due to the current high tides. All the debris, both human and natural, was in the high tide line. Gathered one full bag of the usual stuff...cans, rope, plastic pieces, and styrofoam...mostly from boats. Nothing particularly unusual, except we found "Wilson" ('the soccer ball ⚽️ From the movie "Castaway"...finally home after all these years!
