Mushroom Hunting

Willamette National: We've got books, knives and permits, but little experience so we don't ever bring anything back with us but pictures...
Claire helps make sure the Umpqua jetty gets a proper climb-upon.
The Siuslaw Pioneer Trail is an awesome hidden treasure if you're out near Florence, OR. The trail was built in the 1970s and has obviously fallen into disrepair (great for adventurous mushroom forays!).
This growth is over one foot wide and the orange was nigh on neon. Likely to be Chicken of the Woods, an edible mushroom.
I caught a crawdad! Scroll down to see my wet boots.
Adam and Claire at an interpretive trail sign (on the Pioneer still)--check out the growth on this tree!
Gross to have squishy boots, but awesome to have caught one of the flaming red crayfish clogging the McLeod Creek here at Pioneer Trail.
Baby loves ocean...
Bliss' Burgers in Florence is AWESOME; not just because they have a 1960s fiberglass Burger Boy!
