Fort Bragg, California

This used to be a dumping ground. Literally. They called it The Dumps. It was the town's garbage can until the 1960's, when "the dump" was closed for good.

The largest items, like refrigerators, were removed by man, but by that time nature had done a great work on all the rest. The large variety of glass bottles that had been tossed over the side had been rubbed down and polished to turn The Dumps into a beautiful Glass Beach!
