While strolling one of Oregon's expansive sandy beaches, a scurrying
movement in a tide pool caught my eye. Was that a bullhead? No, it was
too egg-shaped to be one of the shy pool-dwelling fish. It didn't
scuttle like a crab -- and the pool was teeming with these mystery
creatures. Whatever it was, the buggy beast was just the reason I'd wanted to
visit Oregon's ocean beaches: for a chance to explore the craggy
coastline, poke around under seaside rocks and sink my toes in sugary
sand.
