We only stayed about 45 minutes then turned tail and ran. That tree from that angle was the one that keep me going back again and again. Don't think it has survived this last erosion episode. From what we could see across the marsh, it looks like there is a huge swath of the beach that is gone now. These barrier islands are notorious for heavy erosion in some areas, and heavy buildup in others. We plan to go again in a few weeks, when the tides and sunrise times align. This trip I was finally able to wade through a deep spot on the causeway and get down to the beach. I couldn't actually get on the beach due to high water. Normally, it is accessible a couple hours after high tide. This is the view from the end of the causeway trail. I shot these just to document what the beach looked like.[ATTACH=full]401548[/ATTACH]And looking north.[ATTACH=full]401549[/ATTACH]The last time we visited, there were lots of standing trees in the surf near the causeway end. This was the only one I saw until much further north. This one was right in front of the causeway end.[ATTACH=full]401550[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
