We decided to start a new tradition for the first day of the new year. That tradition is to walk our north ocean beaches no matter what the weather might be. Who would guess that the first day of 2012 on the Kalaloch beaches would be almost clear and dry with a warm gentle breeze? We started at Beach 4 and walked south past Beach 3 until we couldn’t go any farther because of the incoming tide and headlands. Beachcombing on a winter beach turns up all sorts of treasures.
