Birch bay may long weekend

there were killdeer and herons on the beach as we were wandering back from the point whitehorn side of the state park. these cabins are on a beach that is "private" ?? i think the americans have a different definition of private ownership of the beach. in canada the beach is public below the high tide mark, but in the states i think it could be the low tide mark, which is strange as that would take you way out into the bay and everyones lots would start to overlap which each other??? luckily we have walked this beach many times over the years and no one seems to say anything. there are signs along the front of their properties where the high tide is showing that it is private property if you go up towards their cabins, houses, but that is obvious to most people. some very nice houses along this stretch although the hill gets quite steep and lots of erosion from the waves. an unknown beach shrub with roundish leaves, sprawly habit, but those beach shrubs, trees are so important in controlling erosion along the slope. those cabins that cleared their slopes are in bad shape from erosion compared to those that left the plants in place.Read more
