    with choice edibles it is sometimes better to be a bit more discrete... just tag US rather than putting in a specific location. Keeps areas from being over picked. Posted 3 years ago

      You are so right, morpheme. And I'd thought to geotag this into the middle of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. As is, it is not at all where I found this my favorite of all edibles. We think as one. Posted 3 years ago
