In Oregon you are not allowed to drive on the beaches except in certain areas. The places I go you need to carry it off or use a cart. You are allowed to use a chain saw but after that the work begins.

Greg, which beach in OR did you visit? I have a place in Brookings, which has a great beach.
Nice wood catch.

From my understanding it’s against the law to remove wood from Oregon beaches. But I’ve been wrong before and I don’t think any of use will say anything

Hey Jim, what wood? What beach? Haha. Really nice find Greg. Those are some beautiful stripes.

Did some one say something about a beach? must be about fishing.

Hey Jim, Thanks for the comment, I have spoken to the autorities to make sure and they say it is legal. You can use a chain saw but you have to carry it off. You can’t drive out to get it. This is a main way that poeple get fire wood which is also legal. Lots of burlers use the beach for one of their souces for harvesting.

I like to go to Gold Beach because it is right at the mouth of the Rogue.

Hey Greg
I said I’ve been wrong before, Were I was told that I think might have been in a state park along the coast.

Nice find Greg,

I wonder what would happen if I walked out on Manhattan Beach with a big ol’ chain saw?

People in SoCal get real funny about stuff like that.

Great find,some of my best finds come off the beach of coney glenn just outside the heads of Knysna lagoon especially after a storm or flood

I bet you do get some Great Finds down there!!!

Really nice looking wood. The only chance of my finding anything on the beach would be if California and Arizona were to break off the continent and float away.
Great find.
