Mima Mounds Natural Area Preserve (Olympia, WA)
On a cold February day we set off to crack the mysterious of the world famous Mima Mounds.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tips:
If you find yourself at the sportsman club you should have taken a right at the T. And after about 3 mins you will see the entrance on the left. Parking is maybe 60 stalls and you do need a discover pass.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buy a pass:
Its cheaper off the official website than at a store. Its a 2 dollar savings because stores charge a vendors fee.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Audio problem:
To make a long story short my cell phone is a GSM phone and when it cant find signal it sends out reconnect waves thus messing up my audio. Or the mounds put out radiation!

The 637-acre park features trails and carefully restored prairie vegetation. But the stars of the show are hundreds of surprisingly uniform mounds, which came into existence sometime after the last ice age.
Mima Mounds Natural Area Preserve, near Littlerock, WA 050915
The Mima Mounds are mysterious geological formation - these particular mounds are in SW Thurston County, WA, not far from Olympia and Tumwater, near the community of Littlerock. They are in a mostly treeless prairie type area - being several small hummock like hills ranging from about 1 foot to over 6 foot in height. No one has any for-sure idea on their formation. Many theories and notions abound. Beside this, they are a wonderful place to visit, especially when I shot this in May, with the flowers, mostly camas, out in force!

Video was taken on 29 September 2016 with a Yuneec Typhoon H hexacopter and CGO3+ 4k camera. Camera was set to Natural. I used an ND16 filter for hazy sun. White balance and exposure were locked.
