A puzzle with a purpose, this game, Tracking the Dragon, was conceived in 1991 by Wild Olympic Salmon as a way for people to learn about water.
There are 12 bronze dragon tracks, which represent a phase of the hydrologic cycle: sedimentary rock, glaciers, clouds, rain, streams, freshwater wetlands, rivers, soil water, groundwater, estuaries, Puget Sound, Hood Canal, and the sea. Dragon tracks are bronze, about two feet long, and you can make rubbings of them with thin paper and crayon.
Join us on our adventure to locate these tracks. Today we hiked along seashores, sometimes finding them, sometimes not.... why didn't they use a GPS and get coordinates???
"It’s the shell game of the Titans, and gears of the players whirr and clash unending in this God’s game…..
Why are you here?
Have you come to hear my laughter ripple?
Step up close and I will chuckle for you.
Have you come to test my strength?
Do so! But be prepared when you go among these watery haystacks….
So. Why have you come?
Are you going to ask me where to find the pea in today’s shell game?
I will tell you if you listen carefully."
We thank Ninja Emery for his help finding this track, and pazoodles for replacing it.
