Feb. 4, 2013 - Day 35: Relief Yurt and Cabin Hosts

Today we worked the business at home until lunch. We both took separate breaks for exercise. The tide was out so the sand was hard - good conditions for a beach run.

Our official park host position is "Relief Yurt and Cabin Host" which means we offer backup support to the other couples on their days off and on heavy cleaning days. The job is to clean the Yurts and/or Cabins after the guests check out, but we did not receive a cleaning assignment, due to low vacancy and turnover today.

Instead of cleaning, we took trash bags and went for an hour walk on the beach. The Oregon coast is beginning to receive Japan tsunami trash which washes up on the rocks at high tide. We found lots of styrophome, small bits of plastic, plastic bottles, rope and dock floatsom.

The park here and the state of Oregon in general has an organized plan to collect, categorize (the big stuff) and dispose of tsunami trash. Very interesting... I hope to find something with Japanese writing.
