Berries this time of year?
« on: June 03, 2018, 11:50:58 PM »
We were out driving some forest roads in the Olympics this past weekend and came across a couple that appeared to be picking some type of berries (elevation 300-600 above sea level). They were collecting them in a milk jug like container so the sides were not clear. The contents appeared to be red. I wasn't aware of any berries that were ripe this time of year. Any ideas on what it could have been?

Started seeing/ eating ripe Salmon Berries a couple of weeks ago at about that same elevation here.  Both the Red and the Orange.  Guessing that is what they were picking.
May that for which I prepare never come to pass.

I'm thinking they were picking salmon and thimble berries.  Both are good eating  :EAT:

Huckleberries are also starting to get ripe.
