Free and Uninterrupted Use / by Erik Sudheimer

Despite our typical weekend routine of sleeping in like professionals, we found enough daylight yesterday for a lil’ hike on the coast. 

One of the cool things about the Oregon coast, outside of the dramatic meeting of sky, sea and rock, is that the entire coastline from Washington to California is public. It’s protected by legislation that creates an easement, guarantees points of access and allows, "free and uninterrupted use of the beaches."

I’d love to see Minnesota enact some similar policies on the North Shore of Lake Superior.
