Chuckanut fossils...



A geocache brought us back to Chuckanut Drive south of Bellingham a couple of days ago. When we read about fossils being here, we had to see it for ourselves. So south we drove, parked on the wide shoulder, and crossed the narrow highway to look up on the cliff. I never knew about the fossils that were exposed when the road was built, but I bet my sister does... she has a minor in geology from Western.

In one place you can see a variety of tropical plant vegetation, including palms. There's also an embedded tree, now petrified wood.
