Volunteers gathered to help Surfriders install 2 fire pits at Bastendorff Beach last Saturday. The Press (Oregon Coast Digest, The World, and KCBY), representatives from the BLM, and interested beach goers joined in the installation and celebration! We made the news!
Thanks go to Seth Lucas at Sol Coast Consulting and Design for helping design, create the forms, and teach us how to build the fire pits!
Thanks also to Tim Hyatt for driving the "dozer" - helping us to smooth the location sites, and schlepping the fire pit pieces!
