Album of Lower Pilchuck River Field Trip

Selected photos from a spider collecting field trip on the lower Pilchuck River (via the Centennial Trail) north of Snohomish, Snohomish County, Washington, on 22 October 2006. Many things went wrong, but I got a spider sample and as you can see, it was a beautiful day! Photos by Rod Crawford.
