Happy Solstice!

Camp Westwind is underway (Day 3 of Session 1) and summer officially starts today . . . so it is a perfect time to ask about Winter!

TRIVIA QUESTION: Where did all the sand go that was washed away during the past winter’s storms (take note of exposed rocks near the bottom of the picture, showing the area of greatest sand loss)?

ANSWER: Most of the sand washed out to sea only a couple hundred meters, creating a larger sand bar as far out as three rocks (which poke into the ocean at the top-left of this picture).
