A Trip to the Vernal Pool at Douthat State Park


The trip to the vernal pool at Douthat State Park is always a Governor's School favorite.

Wading in the vernal pool muck.


But some would rather risk walking on logs.


And when we're done, we have to clean the gear in a nearby stream.


Today's Critters


The green frogs did not appreciate us disturbing their home.


These tiny frogs were all over the area. As best I can figure, they are immature wood frogs.


Dragonflies were numerous.


Back at DSLCC, a group of us came across a group of goats and dogs from a neighboring farm.
