Report Details

In my last report I reported seeing curious large root systems in the newly exposed eroded bluff above the beach.The University of Washington Botany department informed me that these roots are called "manroot", or Myrah Oreganus.The sometimes enormous subterranean roots of this common wild cucumber can reach more than 10 Kg, or 9 feet long.Native peoples (Chinooks among them) used the root for medicinal purposes.

The wrack line contained small (2-4") crab casings, clam shells and broken sand dollars. There was a small land slide near a house drain line - see picture. The sand level was low on the north end of mile 307 which leaves the rocks uncovered.
