your Odyssey Sea Glass News, Issue #019 -- Slogan? Think!
September 14, 2009
Hello All,

Best Arts and Crafts SuppliesLin_and_David
Amazingly, we have had nice weather again the past couple of days, actually in the 70's here in the forested hills and glens of the Pacific Trail country (it passes not far from where we live). With the rush of home-goers on the I5 corridor, down from Canada, back through Oregon and Idaho to places south and west, the medley of license plates reads like a travelogue.

I was thinking about the heavier swells that will be winding in from the Northern Pacific Ocean later this fall and the upturning of new "stuff" on the beaches. Even though the currents and tides always move a lot of sand, it does seem that more than the usual things turn up after a storm.

It would be interesting if it were possible to find out if sea glass could actually be "pushed up" the beach from deeper water...although from what we have seen here at extreme low tides, it just doesn't look to good out there for beach glass. But then,who knows?

We'll see in the next couple of months how much things change.

Once again, we welcome you readers from around the world to our newsletter. For you who are in
South Africa (Goeie dag, hallo), Colombia (Buenos dias), and Vietnam (Chào bạn).

Jul 24, 2009, New comment on "Secret" Sea Glass Beach

Note: To see the report on this beach, see the note in above in the newsletter.

Here's an excerpt from Harley's comment: "I have hiked to this fantastic sea glass beach from the other "end"... we found hundreds of pieces of glass. Many places you could just stand in a spot and turn in a circle, picking up glass all around you.

We also found old bottles, intact, but not washed in the sea... just dumped over the bluff and remained on the beach since.

We found marbles, all colors of glass including red, and tons of pottery pieces..."
