About Author
A journalist and an avid outdoorswoman, Bonnie Henderson lives in Eugene. She is the author of Best Hikes with Kids: Oregon and Day Hiking: Oregon Coast and has published articles in Backpacker, Women's Sports and Fitness, Coastal Living, and Sunset, among others. In 1995, she began volunteering for CoastWatch, a program of the Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition that monitors changes, natural and unnatural, on every inch of Oregon's shoreline. Strand arose from the experience of routinely walking Mile 157 on the central Oregon coast, puzzling over what she found.
