This was a day of discoveries, insights, and fun, as we visited both the Lyre Conservation Area and the mouth of the Elwha River, both on the Strait of Juan Fuca, west of Port Angeles. 

Carpools were organized, and non-drivers paid $12 for gasoline. Eileen at JLTnatural@saveland.org provided additional information.
