STILL IN WASHINGTON

We've been staying at Margaret McKenny campground in the woods. There are mushrooms here, too!

And our campsite is huge and beautiful:

Yesterday, we went to the Mima Mounds Natural Area Preserve. Mima Mounds are these mysterious (theories abound) geological mounds that extend for several hundred acres, that no one quite knows how they formed. It seems the current idea is that they were formed by glacial ice, melting in waves, but the jury is still out! We also encountered some flora and fauna along the two mile trail through the mounds:
