Comments | "I know we were near Olympia. I was at work with a paving crew. There was a large church with a cemetery in the back, and a trailer up on concrete "stilts" That may help someone who knows the area. It was a dead end road. Many "swamp" areas. Noticed what looked like oil puddles in the water of the one small creek/drain area. Turns out it was actually jellyfish. I noticed them swimming." |
