Olympic National Park

Went on a field trip to the Olympic National Park area of Washington State this past weekend as a TA for an Environmental Studies class. It was awesome. Spent one day at an old growth forest identifying trees, shrubs, herbs, and mushrooms/fungi. Spent the next day at a beach looking at tidepool/shore critters. I have never seen so much biodiversity in one little area. I will definitely upload pictures. I saw a pacific giant octopus for the first time ever outside an aquarium. So awesome. And I touched a newt. Field courses are the best.
