Mile 305 Report

May 26, 2013
A great day for a hike during one of the year's lowest tides.
Report Details
A great day for a hike during one of the year's lowest tides. Was able to access all coves. The driftline content was average, except that there was more wood than usual, and it had been more beaten around, making a fresh wood scent. Would guess that strong winds or tides brought it into the coves, and then it got battered about by the waves. Nothing particularly unique/spectacular to report, but always a great hike due to the wonderful natural features of the area.
Conditions
Temperature: 50 F. Cloud Cover: Cloudy. Wind Velocity: Calm/Light. Wind Direction: NW. Tide Level: -2.1 feet.
Human Activities
One person at top when I got there. Rained lightly, so she didn't join me on the hike.
Vehicles
Cars/trucks parking: 1.
Notable Wildlife
Average number of seals in the surf, none on the shoreline. Were already in the water when I arrived, probably in the hunt for breakfast.
Driftline Content
One dead young seal, cause of death not apparent.
Natural Changes
Landslides/major boulder falls.
Actions & Comments
Usual slow erosion of nature taking place.

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