| Turtle Trail North Thursday Photo by Darrel S. |
Darrel, down from Gainesville, hit the Treasure Coast beaches hard for the last month and sent me a lot of reports and photos, They were very helpful to me. Thanks Darrel.
You can tell the cuts are old. They are beaten down. When they are new, they are more like a wall. They just sort of crumble over time if the water isn't hitting them.
In the above photo you can see that the water had just splashed up on the foot of the cuts.
Darrel says that Seagrape Trail access is still closed.

A few days ago I posted a link to an article about how to tell the age of Coke bottles. That post received a good number of Google Pluses.
Here is a great book that will give you tons of good information on how to date and identify all kinds of bottles. You can read much of it online as a preview.
The book, written by Peter Schulz, has the title Baffle Marks and Pontil Scars: A Reader on Historic Bottle Identification.
Click on the title to look at that preview.
I highly recommend taking a look at this book if you collect bottles at all.

Expect a small surf for the next week or two. Nothing exciting.
Happy hunting,
