MILE 226 on 6/21/12   -   GEORGE&SHEILA LOCATION Lincoln  •  Otter Crest, State Wayside CONDITIONS Thursday 6:30 PM  •  Sunny  •  58° F  •  Wind: Calm/Light from the NW  •  Tide: 4 ft HUMANS People: 0  •  Dogs: 0 ACTIVITIES CONCERNS DISTURBANCES VEHICLES Cars/Trucks parking: 1 ACTIV.COMMENTS There was one car in the parking area at the extreme north of mile 226, but saw nobody on the rocks at the only access point. There was minimal traffic along the old one-way portion of Hwy. 101 and only one or two cars at a time in the lookout parking lot. NOTABLE WILDLIFE Notable was the lack of marine life, only about six gulls being seen. DEAD BIRDS Total: 0 STRANDED Total: 0 FISH & INVERTS DRIFTLINE Nothing noticed on mile. NEW DEVELOPMENT MODIFICATIONS NATURAL CHANGES COMMENTS What is unusual here is the lack of change, but that can largely be accounted for by the difficulty of access. While there is nothing on the driftline observable on this mile, there appears to be quite a lot of driftwood and some manmade items, including a tire and wheel, observable with binoculars from the lookout in a cove at the extreme north end of mile 225. SUMMARY No human activity was observed along this mile at the shoreline. Very little wildlife was observed and there was nothing observed where rare segments of driftline existed or were observable. No physical changes were observed. Driftwood and manmade items observed from a distance at extreme north end of mile.
