Salt Creek aka tidepooling mecca

Knowing that the low tides were on their way, I planned to head west for some tide pooling just west of 
Port Angeles to Salt Creek County Park and Recreation Area. I'd been told since arriving to PT that this was the mecca of tide pooling, little did I know, all the heresay was true! I delighted in seeing animals I normally don't see in PT tide pooling and seeing them in masses, it was beautiful!

Giant Barnacle

The blue mussels were so thick you could walk upon them and it could support your weight
Adorable gooseneck barnacles!
