That's what I heard too. There is a photo of the collapsed arch here: http://www.facebook.com/pacificcity

I just photographed it a few weeks ago and wrote a short blog post on it here: http://photocascadia.wordpress.com/2011/01/25/fallen-arch/

Wow, what a bummer. Keyhole arch was on my list of places I wanted to visit and photograph.

I knew it would happen. I even predicted it about two or three years ago (anyone there would know it was going to fall before long).

I was very sad about it and felt I had sort of put it on the map.

I remember someone giving me a hard time because I chipped a quarter size step in the side of the sandstone where waves constantly crashed there. I told the people attacking me that the whole place was eroding and even my step was gone hours after I had made it. Now the whole area is gone! I guess there was no need to attack me on that issue... But I am still a little sad. I had A LOT more plans for it photographically.
