Our first stop in the Pacific Northwest was the Hood Canal Bridge at 2pm. The Hood Canal was formed into a long narrow inlet of salt water located along the eastern edge of the Olympic Peninsula.  The beach we investigated was a pebble beach that contained well-rounded igneous clasts (5-10 cm in diameter).
