Item Description
Oregon state park staff removed an unusual piece of debris from the ocean shore near Oceanside in Tillamook County. The 16' long object is made of heavy wood and has been painted red, though it is now partially covered with marine organisms. Its shape resembles the top, horizontal part of a type of free-standing arch found in Japan called a torii. A torii is used to mark the entrance of a sacred site.
