Olympic Peninsula, eh?

Great area, one I am familiar with, but I would not expect to find a lot of professional journals in the local libraries.

You know, I once heard that some prehistoric animal, maybe a mammoth of some sort, was found around this area with an arrowhead stuck in its rib. Never saw it myself, I'll have to find out more about that.

If you're ever in the area, you'll have to look me up and maybe we can go exploring or something. There are some old mines around the area from the late 1800s and early 1900s.

That is the Manis Mastodon site, in Sequim (actually Happy Valley). And it was a bone spear point in the rib.

The rib and point are in the museum downtown.
