Someone had a good time!!:)

Good morning Birch Bay! Or, I should say “morning after”… if you’re local I bet many of you have already been down to the beach helping the cleanup effort. In other local chat groups there’s a lot of division over the impact of July 4 celebrations here that seem to be growing more massive every year. There are those who say we need to do better and limit how much fireworks activity is allowed while others say “it’s fine, we’ve been doing it for years, it always gets cleaned up!”  I’ll wager that most of the cleanup is done not by the visitors and fireworks users but local volunteers. Yes it’s true there are dozens of people out on the beach this morning and county crews are already passing through, picking up organized piles at the roadside. Myself and a couple of other beachcombers spent nearly an hour on a pile like this, picking through seaweed for all the tiny debris and carting the big stuff up to the road… and that was just one of dozens of piles like this photo. Even when it’s all picked up, much of it has already been pulled away by the tide or remains embedded in the beach. If you’ve been out helping today, kudos to you and everyone who’s lent a hand. There’s got to be a better way to keep our place pristine and still enjoy the tradition
