Cliffs here they call the bluffs, they errode pretty bad, sand
and glacial till. There use to be many places years ago to
drive down to the beach. Now there are less access points.
Number of years ago the people of Nikiski and others
fought to have a gate removed from one beach everyone
used. Forget what company put it up.

Yeah some could take awhile to dry, but most burns
pretty good it's so dry. We use to sit on the beach
around summer solstice and have a nice fire with
it, some made for a nice seat and others a wind break.
The pieces I got a few weeks ago are already dry, but
they are not real big. Look like critter shapes, clubs
and some nice walking sticks.
