Hayden and I drove down south of Olympia near the town of Littlerock to check out these weird mounds that I read about online. The weather started to turn right as we arrived so we did not walk any of the trail but we did walk to the observation platform. While the geology is very interesting, the location kind of sucked since there is a rifle range right next to it and a big parking lot can be seen across the way. The mound's origins are a mystery and were first believed to be Indian burial grounds. A couple of theory's now are that the mounds are the work of pocket gophers over thousands of years or possibly earthquake vibrations made them. Nobody knows really where they come from but they are an interesting thing to ponder. Mima mounds are found most frequently in Washington State but can also be found in other parts of North America as well as South America and Africa.
