a before-Sunrise walk on the beach

started before Sunrise --walked from 40th street on Sunset Beach west to Bird Island to the Little River East Jetty and back.. 4.16 miles.. lots of beach erosion ..considerably more than from the last time we walked this way late last year.. stopped at the Kindred Spirit Mailbox..
