Heavy brush cleared out and a section where some stream fall ran across the trail has been rebuilt and directed underneath. This makes the trail much dryer and safer to traverse. SUMMARY Four seal pups in the usual area (straight section of coastline at northern section of mile 119). They were all foraging under the water and occasionally surfacing. One very young small seal was hanging out with its mother. Trail to southern portion of the mile has been improved. Eight people and two dogs noted.
