Treasure Coast Beach Renourishment.

Returning snow birds once again will be greeted by closed beaches, construction equipment and piles of sand being pushed around rather than paradise, and all that at a time of year when detectorists are most expecting to find the treasure that gave the Treasure Coast its name.

Indian River County’s Public Works Coastal Engineering Division announced that construction for the Sector 3 Phase 2 Beach and Dune Restoration Project is scheduled to begin on Nov. 1 and will run through April 30.


Construction activities for Phase 2 of the project represent 2.9 miles
of Atlantic coastline, from Wabasso Beach Park continuing south to northern John’s Island...

The total cost of this phase of the project is $14,174,738. Funding for the project came from grants from the Federal Emergency Management Agency ($7,121,716) and the Florida Department of Environment Protection ($7,769,420)...

Beach park access at Treasure Shores will be closed Oct.29 for about 45 days while construction is completed.

The entire project seeks to replace a total of about 6.6 miles of coastline in North Beach, the Town of Orchid, Wabasso Beach, Indian River Shores, and unincorporated Indian River County that were depleted by Hurricane Matthew (2016), Hurricane Irma (2017), and Hurricane Dorian (2019).

Beach park access at Sea Grape will be closed beginning Friday, Oct. 29... The park will remain closed until construction of this phase is complete.

Project updates and beach park closures are available on the IRC website at www.ircgov.com and social media platforms as they become available.

Here is that link for more information.


So, Treasures Shores Beach Park will be closed Oct 29th to Dec 16th,
Sea Grape Trail Beach Access will be closed Oct 29th to Apr 30th, and
Turtle Trail Beach Access closure dates are yet to be determined.

A wealthy medieval man who died over 1,500 years ago in what is now Bavaria, Germany, may have been a fierce warrior who also cared deeply about his personal appearance. 

The man, who was about 40 to 50 years old when he died, was buried with fine weapons and a horse. But his grave also included luxurious toiletries, including a pair of scissors and an intricately carved ivory comb that may have been used to style his hair and beard, archaeologists recently reported.

They also discovered a second, equally lavish grave holding a woman who was about 30 to 40 years old when she died. It contained jewelry, food and a high-quality red ceramic bowl that likely came from northern Africa, representatives of the Bavarian State Office for Monument Protection (BLfD), the agency supervising the excavation, said in a German language statement...

American Gold: The Legend is a TV program running on Fox Business that I recently watched.  It began slow, but looks like it might get interesting.  I like the tone much better than some of the History channel offerings, which often get pretty hokey.

 By the way, I ran across Oak Island while channel surfing Saturday and noticed the addition of more archaeologists and real experts.  That helps some, but there are still too many wild claims and too many juvenile melodramatic displays.

Ancient Aliens has some of the same stuff I hate about Oak Island.  For example, they talk about the wheels within wheels described in the book of Ezekiel as describing a UFO and the Spirit as being an alien, but if you really look at the book of Ezekiel it that interpretation becomes laughable.  Why, you might ask, would aliens tell  Ezekiel to tell Israel that they have been rebellious to God.  I'd think that aliens might be able to deliver a more direct message, perhaps like the writing on the wall at Nebuchadnezzar's palace as described in the Book of Daniel or maybe something wild and convincing like maybe neon skywriting.   

As you might recall, I immediately saw the events of 1/6 as being a setup (See my 1/7/21 post). Now, months later, Revolver News and many others are pointing out a fellow that was immediately called out by Trump supporters as being a fed agitator and organizer as he repeatedly told various groups to break into the capital building. 

See for example Fed-Protected Ray Epps Is Key Figure In Jan. 6 – Steve Bannon's War Room: Pandemic – Citizens of the American Republic 

Here are my first impressions as posted in my 1/7 post.  Treasure Beaches Report: Pt. 2. (2020 and Beyond): 1/7/21 Report - Sanded in Beaches On North End of South Hutchinson Island Today. (tbr2020.blogspot.com)

If you watch the group that first  broke through in through a window, you will notice that it was a organized group dressed in tactical garb that looked very much like the professional BLM rioters of the previous summer.

Looks like the surf will increase Friday, but not a lot.

Happy hunting,
