Report Details

China Creek is acting strangely this year. For most of this week, it split north and south for a considerable distance instead of continuing straight to the ocean as it had done. Today, though, the southern leg had disappeared but the northern one continues perhaps a third of a mile. I've never seen either behavior in the years I've walked this beach.
