We keep coming back to Mackie Park here in Maxwelton. Today, it is partly to check on the progress of the new spit and partly as a trail head for our long hike down to Scatchet Head.
I've reported on Maxwelton before (April 2009, March 2007), where the accretion of a sandy spit, and its progressive growth downdrift (to the north), has led to significant changes at the park. The spit has now made the ramp pretty dysfunctional (as a boat ramp, but the kids were loving playing the stream).

Shouldn’t let your kids play in the so-called stream. It’s pretty much untreated sewage. Several dogs have developed skin problems after immersing themselves. When I fell in, I slipped off a log up to my waist. A woman observing this fiasco said, “The same thing happened to me last week. I went in up to my knees.” I was in such a hurry to get home and shower off that I neglected to reply, “There’s a lot of difference between the knees and the waist.”
