Report Details

It was such a rainy day, I was unable to walk the whole mile, but mostly observed from the hill. I did observe a wedding being held in early September, and the wedding photos were done down near Haystack Rock. It was a outstanding setting! There are 2 new signs at the beach: DANGER HIGH SPEED DORY BOATS LANDING - WHEN BOAT TRAILERS ARE PARKED ON THE BEACH

Conditions

Cloud Cover: Rain. Wind Velocity: Strong.

Human Activities

Number of people: 2. Walking or running: 1. As I parked at the parking lot at Cape kiwanda, I observed 2 new easily visable signs. They read:STAY CLEAR DANGER HIGH SPEED DORY BOATS LANDING- when boat trailers are parked on the beach. It is too bad they weren't put up a few years ago. It was a stormy day with large high waves. The wind was 30-40 +.

Wow what a change from last month! State Parking lot is closed for a couple of months while construction on the new parking lot and restroom continues. The tree ( object I show as a measure of sand deposition ) is really getting uncovered! Survey also for COASST, no beached birds or mammals found. The beach access point at the north end of Bob Straub State Park is still unusable for vehicles, due to a massive erosion event and 5 foot sharp edges to the beach.
