Mile 305 Report

Walked the mile from one end to the other -- bit risky because tide not out all that far.
Report Details
Walked the mile from one end to the other -- bit risky because tide not out all that far. Was amazed to see very little human trash. I had stashed a large quantity of cork floats, and I carried them to the rock base near my in/out access point and secured them as best I could, for bringing up-cliff at a later date. Nice trip, but unremarkable, except for the fact that the ocean certainly pushes the loose shore rock into amazingly different formations from one visit to the next.

In 50 plus years of visiting this small cove, this is the only time I've ever seen it this calm.

A great day for a hike during one of the year's lowest tides.
