[obol] "skimming" Curry Co. (no joy so far). Other comments follow.

[Jeff Gilligan]

Thanks Tim.  I was misinformed by the owner of a nursery in Brookings
regarding the acacia species.  I would still recommend checking out the soon
to flower eucalypt.

We spent the last hour of light at the pistol River mouth.  No luck on the
skimmer.

We saw a Snow Goose, with Canadas, flying in Gold Beach.

  Jeff
