Small Cove Traps Driftwood

Our island is a haven for driftwood collectors, but the driftwood is mainly tree trunks. Even if you have the equipment to deal with what amounts to full sized trees, however, you're out of luck since it's against the law to remove anything from public or private land. This particular collection is not within a park so it must be privately owned. I've never checked it out. I just come & look at it every once in awhile.

As you can see all the driftwood has collected in one spot here & not the sides, although only one side is visible in the photo. This body of water is a small, oval shaped cove with a small opening at the bottom, or south end. As the winter winds, which come from the south, blow these driftwood logs through the small opening at the bottom of the cove, they collect at the north end since there is nowhere else to go.
