wow, I'm so bummed to read of Bird Rock's erosion! But so glad for your awesome blog so that I can feel connected with home. After all, I am a Bird Rock alumnus!
ReplyDeleteI hope Don is wrong. (I love it when I rhyme unintentionally.)
ReplyDeleteI lived in Sunset Cliffs for years and sadly saw many of the cliff formations crumble into the sea. Hate to see it happen in your neck of the woods too.
