I wonder if this has anything to do with the fact that exactly where you were at was the location of Gettysburg, a logging town that operated between approx. 1890 and 1915. They built a breakwater on the west side of the little crescent bay, unloaded logs into the water where they were boomed and shipped to other ports.

It would be along haul though via the area near La Push.<br />HS: it was a fun walk/scramble and I want to do another reach on a future trip.<br />Anon: I have been looking for examples of fish traps or aquatic farming from First Nations as I have read about them in BC. Indeed, one reason I wanted to look at these was for that reason. The bigest curved fetaures have rocks that strike me as too large; however, on some of the smaller ones one would should consider the hypothesis that pools may have been anthropogenic.Dan McShanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17044037213245602667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9188642669907788257.post-34383065431544402013-11-21T09:01:23.727-08:002013-11-21T09:01:23.727-08:00Interesting hypothesis.
