Digging for geoducks

Geoducks (pronounced gooey-ducks) are just about the most ridiculous creatures I've ever seen. I was lucky enough to spend a cloudy day in beautiful Puget Sound digging them up with the Leander's and their friends.



You have to get the barrel in the sand, and then start digging...













That's what they look like! He held on for about 1.3 seconds.



This is how you spot them...their necks sticking out in the sand.
