I done like beach’s breaks but that one looks very doable. As a longboarder I like a slot to make for an easy return to the line up. that one looks like a peak chaser to me. But you can’t beat the crowds
also like longboards...and Tim Stamps and Art Coyler make some fine ones

Those rusted hulks look like a beach in Petersburg, AK. They used the beach as a dumping ground for old cars, trucks, etc.
Not pretty.

Does anyone know what that conglomeration of corroded cylinders is? Batteries? BTW, pretty sure Conglomeration of Corroded Cylinders is the hot new grindcore band out of Sumner WA.

But to me the real compelling photo is the 5 chocolate drop rainbow sprinkle cookies laid out so nicely on the beach stones. What could the backstory be here? Help us out, Boot. I am thinking that is the remnants of an annual Spring ritual of an Eleanor Rigby type. She takes a half dozen confections purchased from the bakery section at QFC down to the beach, sits on a log and slowly and contemplatively consumes one of the cookies, letting the partially hydrogenated goodness coat her tongue like a soggy sweater before deliberately swallowing each small bite. When that cookie is finished, she lays the remaining five out on the beach as an offering to the gods to maybe, one day, send back that handsome man with the sea glass colored hands that she once saw on the beach, raising his nose to the air to better locate the source of the fragrances he detected on the wind. Then she splashes on some Chanel No. 5 and leaves the beach for another year.

That is part of a train. There were a bunch of items from the US Postal service scattered around the rusting trail. The train looked like it had been there a long time. Maybe a derailment from long ago. The postal stuff looked really new. I wish they’d clean it all up.

It was a bunch of spray cans and other stuff encrusted in some type of material. Very odd indeed. There is a bunch of wire and cloth like traps all over the beach as well. Way too far and much to get into my stripping basket!
I attached another pic of the spray cans.
Not sure about the chocolate kiss cookies.
They were scattered on the beach below a house with a huge tall bulkhead. Maybe that is the owners idea food recycling for stale sprinkle cookies?
I agree, @Wadin' Boot should have some type of explanation. ;)

Your going to need a larger stripping basket!

Pretty sure it all of it, including the donut cookies, and especially the spray paint, and the rail wheels, is some kind of slow burn performance art from Banksy. It's really interesting to see how the paint set in the cans as they rusted out. Never really had much of a bead on how much paint is in a spray can but now I know...

To me it looks like a couple dozen construction workers sat down with their thermoses of coffee and donuts and got buried by a mud slide or wiped out by a tsunami.

I think stonedfish found the Puget Sound Pompeii.
