Olympic Adventure Route Hike with our Elkhound - Migrants Harvest Salal

After hiking 2.5 miles distance on the Olympic Discovery Trail Adventure Route, on the way back we encountered a woman mountain biker, a woman dog walker, both by themselves, and several migrant workers harvesting and skillfully bundling large amounts of salal in the woods along the trail. Salal is valued all over the world for use in wreathes and arrangements.
Background:
The Olympic Adventure Route trail, also known as the Olympic Discovery Trail Adventure Route (OAT), is 25 miles long. It's a point-to-point trail running between the Elwha River and Lake Crescent on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State.
