Items on the beach overnight

[John R]

I should get dressed really quick- have freinds coming in for the week, and I am sure I could find a few skim boards and beach toys buried in the lake, maybe even a few chairs and an umbrella. Actually, I might just go pick up trash around the outflow- it's like having friends come to visit and your house has trash all over the yard.

i'm in.

I hope you are right Poodleone, but I think it is the changeover. I was on the beach yesterday afternoon at Grayton, and it looked like people were taking down their tent condos because they had to leave early this morning. There were plenty still up and "furnished" when I left, and I imagine there is a nice mess there this morning thanks to the storm that blew through last night!

Reminds me - I heard someone tell a person who left tents, toys, and holes on the beach one time, "how would you feel if I came to your town and did the same thing in your front yard?"

Isn't there a rule somewhere about camping onthe beach? This surely looks like camping......

I've said that a few times.

There are a lot of visitors out there who do not know about this "rule". I went to TDC's website to see if I could find something out on this, similar to what a visitor to our area would do.

BMBV, perhaps it will be added to the website on the day the "Remove It or Lose It" ordinance starts to be officially enforced, which is July 23. Definitely would have been a good idea to have a blurb already on the website, but I'd hope as of the 23rd something will be posted.
Rereading the article, I do see it says the ordinance will be enforced (and, yes, I use the term loosely) on any area deemed beach, be it public or private.
P.S. Skunky, Jenay, John R, my kids need some snorkel equipment.

Saturday mornings at the beach are so quiet...Kate and I were the only ones there since most people had left or were packing up their stuff. Wish we could have stayed for awhile longer!

Anyhoo- we picked up around the lake. Two bags of trash, 1 broken skim board, 1 broken and rusty chair, one rusty full-size shovel, 5 pairs of shoes, lots of firework trash, and a kazillion pieces of a plastic bucket that had been blown to bits by a pack of firecrackers. Actually, I have seen a LOT more trash before- today was a light day.

Thank you to jdarg and Princess K. You are my kind of people!

BMBV...thank you for the clarification. IMHO, so many of the "rules" of the beach are just plain common sense...but, I also realize that unfortunately common sense is sorely lacking in today's society.

I trashed two masks in the last two days. One found at Seaside yesterday, and another found at Grayton, this morning. I'll keep you on the lookout list.
