There is some new, significant erosion in the southern 1/4 of Mile 237. Evidence of climbing bluffs (initials carved into bluff at top) which appears to have caused loss of vegetation and bluff where residences are located.   MORE

Late winter storms appear to have eroded a significant portion of many bluffs. Occasionally people are seen climbing the bluffs but this appears to definitely be weather made more than man made. Several houses are quickly nearing the edge of the eroded bluffs. This mile of the beach beach took a beating.   MORE

Area near house on cliff has eroded a lot more since my last walk in January. It appears to be abandoned and is dangerously close to falling down the cliff. Also, the rip rap project notice that was posted last time is gone, but no rip rap had been added. Not sure if there was opposition to the project or if the signs blew away. Will continue to monitor.   MORE

Nice, quiet day. No one else on the beach for miles in either direction. Very windy. I don't see any major problems but this was my first walk so I don't have anything to compare the conditions to. One house, that appears to be uninhabited, is in desperate need of riprap (photo attached). Another two houses have a joint notice/permit posted for a riprap project to take place in late February (photo attached). A great mile to walk!   MORE
