OK Sandy I'll bite, what are "sea beans"?

[honeask]

Sea beans are "seed pods" that fall off trees in the tropics and/or from around the Amazon River, basically far off places. I find some in Galveston that looks like little hamburgers, my favorite sea bean. I have researched about them on the internet, really cool (to me) to think about how far they come. Good luck!
They also call them drift seeds.

OK. As far as I remember I haven't seen anything but kelp on the beaches. I did hit the jackpot on sand dollars on the WA coast though

[honeask]

Whole sand dollars are cool too, can't find too many here that are'nt all broken. I will try to bring some sea beans to LCG to show you, if you plan on being there.

Lcg is a given for me, I'll be there I found 26 sand dollars in a mile walk last week at a state park in WA, none of them are broken, but there were probably thousands that were

[honeask]

Cool, we will be there on Wednesday, I'll bring some for a little show and tell.
Be safe and see you then.

Here's a picture of the sea bean and sea glass that we found this weekend.






Hope your having fun Jeff. Try not to become bear bait

[honeask]

Cool sea bean, I have found as many as 12 in a visit down on the West side of the island, seems to be more abundance there. Normally find sundials at Matagorda and sea beans at Galveston, west end. Hope yall had fun and we will see yall at LCG. I think we got your old spot, maybe...#56?

Spent a week roaming around Prince of Wales island, now on the AK ferry headed to Petersburg for a week. Doing some fishing, a lot of sightseeing and pretty much roughing it. I rigged up a shower for my trailer, but it is still rough when its 40*outside. The ferry has free hot showers, ahh I feel so much better now

[Juneaudave]

Isn't POW something? You really are experinencing SE AK!

Yep pow is amazing. Hard to believe you are actually on an island.
Roaming around Petersburg and mitkof island right now. I'll be headed to Haines and the interior Sunday.

[Juneaudave]

That Petersburg is dangerous! Don't let them run the ferry into the seafood processor dock!

[mechmagcn]

No mishaps on the ferry while I was aboard
Right now I am sitting at Dry Creek State Park, north of Glenallen AK. Tomorrow I plan to tour Valdez and Mcarthy. Next will be the Kenia Penensula and Anchorage.
I bought a SUV tent from forum member Phooey (Rob and Caryn) and don't see how I could have made it up here without it. I read somewhere that an adult moose could lose up to a pint of blood a day to mosquitoes, thought it was a joke until I got to the Alaskan interior, IT IS NO JOKE!
Pics are coming, just have to bite the bullet and stay at a commercial campground with wi-fi

Hey Amigo I was beginning to wonder if you got eaten by a moose !! Glad to hear you are doing well. Look forward to some pics!
Still wishing I was there with you
