Walk at Kopachuck

We decided to take a short walk at Kopachuck State Park in the afternoon and experienced a neat phenomena - an extreme low tide.  I guess the moon is orbitting pretty close to the Earth right now which means that the tides are affected.  This past weekend has been and "extreme" low tide which means parts of the beach are revealed that are usually under water.

We saw lots of stranded sea critters like dungeness crab (thems good eatin'!), sunstars and beds of sand dollars.

 

These are sand dollars
