When you speed around town at 40 mph in a car, truck or SUV, you're going to miss the oddities you'd otherwise stumble upon on foot, bike or kayak. Slow down and you might discover a dinosaur ...

I ventured up to Licton Springs Park, the source of the namesake reddish iron oxide spring that's one of the few Puget Sound Salish place names still in use in the Seattle area today. (It's about a 10 minute walk west from the Northgate Link station, near Woodlawn Ave N & N 97th St.)
