Review:

We are sitting on the rock bed looking for different plants/animals. The organisms are found in the water on the bottom of rocks. Rock bottoms are almost embedded in dirt, and many organisms quickly scurry back under after the rock is turned over. It is sunny with a cool breeze. The sky is beautifully blue with a couple of clouds. The Elwha River is constantly flowing, sending the waves crashing against the rocks while doing the foot of earth.
