Tidepooling Today


Today we went tidepooling (is that a word?) at Lone Ranch Beach, just a few miles north of Brookings. We timed it with the low tide at around ten o'clock this morning. I decided to leave the dog at home, but still, it was challenging to maneuver the slippery rocks with the girls. It was a lovely warm day, but the wind whipped up around noon making it cooler and a little hard to maintain balance. We decided then it was time to head back into town for lunch.

An interesting feature located just above the beach, between the sand and the parking lot is a fairly large Native American shell mound, or midden. More information can be found here.
