Right, but I don't quite understand the speed bumps at each end
of the paving.
The potholes are plenty to slow you down. If Parks wanted to slow
people down,
maybe speed bumps in the middle of the paved strips would be the
way.
At high tide yesterday, water was pouring into the pond from the
bay backwards
through the culverts. It used to be that the pond attracted a
certain mix of
fowl because it was only 4-8 ppm salt, but now it's going to be
the same mix
as the bay.

This afternoon ( Thurs) at high tide it was apparent that a section of the
bay side of the culvert at the "pond" is beginning to cave in--be careful
about pulling cars near the edge. Saw a nice Merlin on a telephone wire on
Marine View Drive. Betty Smith, Ocean Shores.
