Okay, although, keep in mind that there are more than one camp. The main one has the leader's den, healer's den, and the nursery. There's another one where it keeps the senior warriors with the elders, while younger warriors live with the apprentices in another camp.
(sadly, elder's have to do bedding themselves. No offense or anything to them)

just asking, but why are the camps spread out?

Well, actually, all those nurse-logs and sort of 'caved-in' logs that've been rotting for awhile in the Hoh Rain forest are pretty separate from each other, so I figured that there'd be more than one camp. Since I rarely saw any logs that were actually decent enough for a camp. Plus the fact that I can't even go off the trail to explore... but it was yellow-jacket season and I didn't want to get stung.
Which means that there'll be more honey for the cats in the summer, but, uh, a lot more stings.

Fair enough. What if the leader's den and the med cat den are together. The senor warriors, elders, and the nursery are together. The rest of the warriors and apprentices are together. I just think the nursery might need more protection than a leader and maybe a med cat.

It would be a cute plot if we have a couple apprentices go looking for honey because the medicine cat wouldn't let them have some from their stash. ^^

Yeah, I saw that. I only remembered the hunting part for some reason. I forgot about the powers and patrolling thing. ^^' If the leader has a power and the queens do, they should be able to defend again most things. Haha sorry for the forgetfulness.
I'll make one apprentice called Beepaw.

XD it's alright. Leader's have nine lives on their own. So it's like having nine extra cats too
Yeah. And I'll have one called Honeypaw. They mate and have a kit that's a honey-bee

Yus. Okay, I'll type up the camp or territory. Which one do you want? I know I volunteered for territory, but after talking about it, I think you might have a clearer image. Then again you did walk around the rainforest. Sorry.
I ship it.

lol. I really don't mind, but then, I would prefer camp over territory, but I guess opinions don't really matter XD. (There's a really great place for a camp, but sadly, it's like, right beside you when you walk on the trail that I walked). Camp?
Totally. Although their kit'll be totally deformed XD

I'll take the territory then. Well, you could just move the place to off the path. No one has to know.
It is the price we have to pay.

Camp Decription --The camp, or camps, of LichenClan is three camps; the first one, or the main camp is where the leader, healer, and the queens and kits all live. Warriors and apprentice's come to this camp daily to go to patrols, or train with their apprentices, which is near the camp. Elder's come along unless if they don't want to. Otherwise, at least three warriors must stay at the second camp with them, one being a senior warrior. The second camp keeps the elders along with the senior warriors. Lastly, the third camp holds the apprentices with the younger warriors.
The Main Camp Leader's Den --The leader's den is slightly small, compared to the other two dens in this camp. On the right side of the right tree is the leader's den. It's covered in vines and ferns grow in the middle of the roots from the nurselog, separating the nursery from the leader's den.
Healer's Den --The healer's den is the roots of the left tree, on the left side, pretty much the exact same as the Leader's den. It's slightly larger than it, with small crevices in the tree, good for storing herbs. Others that don't fit in go into small holes that were dug into the ground.
Nursery --In the middle of these two trees is the roots of both trees. This is caused by the two trees growing on top of a nurselog. The nurselog later decayed and created this large space for the nursery. It has enough space for seven queens and all their kits. But of course, not all of it is just the nursery. One-third of it is for elders that come later in the day, and stay in the part.
Around this main camp, it is surrounded by ferns. These ferns are usually where warriors discuss with the healer and the leader for patrols. This is also a great place for hiding and hunting, although sometimes the common garter snake can be found here, which is the deadliest snake in the Hoh Rainforest.
The Secondary Camp Senior Warrior's Den --The senior warrior's den is a huge log, the inside hollowed. The air is slightly stuffy which is a reason why elder's don't live here. The inside has some moss, already grown on it. Otherwise, apprentice's have to find some, or younger warriors do it. A few plants grow on this log, so this log is also a nurse log too.
Elder's Den --The elder's den is a tree fallen onto of the senior warrior's den. Lichen falls over both sides of this fallen log, ensuring that no rain came in. The tree is much smaller than the warrior's den, although still very comfortable and cool at all times of the year.
Unlike both other camps, this camp is much closer to the twoleg path. The fallen tree was cut by twolegs so it could make way for their path. Elder's go through a small crack that enter's the warrior's den. Back there, there's a thin path that leads to the main camp, and one that also leads to the third camp.
Third Camp Warrior's Den --Again, this den is made from a nurselog, not as comfortable, but the space makes up for it. The roots aren't that tall as it might look, which is why they dug into the ground so that bigger cats were able to fit in. The top is also covered with vines so rain won't leak through the cracks.
Apprentice's Den --The apprentice's den stand's out the most from all other dens. This den is actually underground. It was an abandoned raccoon's den. The scent is now gone, and is also expanded to fit in more apprentice's. This den is pretty deep underground, so rain never seeps through.
This camp's area is quite large in space. However, is is very hard to distinguish which tree from which, considering the amount of trees in this area. However, they can still identify where their dens are by placing scent markers around their dens.

LichenClan's territory is very lush and green. This is mainly due to the moss and lichen that cover most of the territory. It covers the tree branches, fallen logs, rocks, and even the ground. Not saying that is the only thing growing. There are plenty of trees and underbrush. Ferns are also common. There are many types of trees, Spruce and the western hemlock are the most common trees to find, but other can be found, like the Douglas-fir, a couple species of maple, and red cedar. In the wild mix of this rainforest, there are a couple of places the clan managed to mark down as landmarks.
Crescent Lake The Crescent Lake is in the most north part of the territory. It's waters are very clean. It is a fairly small lake but deep and has some large fish. If a cat can manage to not be seen by the twolegs and catch trout, they can get a good meal.
The moss path This path cuts through one of the lush foothills of the hoh rainforest. It is right next to the hoh river. This makes it a prime place to train since lots of different prey come for the lichen and moss growing, and for the water, and because it provides a soft, even space for new apprentices to start. Of course, they don't train on, or even near the path. The path is used by twolegs during the day.
The White river In twoleg tongue, it is called the Hoh river. It is wide and can vary in deepness. It is long and runs deep into the rainforest. There are some parts that split off, but they return to the river soon enough. It received its name from the white color it gets from the silt from the melting glaciers. This along with the Cresent Lake is the only water source available.
Spruce path This twoleg path is longer than the moss path. It cuts through one of the dense parts of the forest with plenty of spruces and Douglas-firs. It is also very common to find fallen trees because of the rain. This seems to be a prime place to find smaller prey or catch birds.
Training hollow
What else to add? This is a very much WIP right now.

hmm... the spruce path, and the camp. It's not needed, but I usually add it in. Oh! And the training hollow, or whatever you want to call it. (It's behind the main camp)

I tried looking up the spruce path for pictures and description, but not getting much. Do you remember anything unique about it besides lots of trees?

lol. unfortunately, I didn't walk that trail... so I don't really know.
I did find this... but it only has tree. like you said. dk if it'll be much help anyways just some stuff I found on the internet
Description This short loop, similar to the Hall of Mosses Trail, offers a quick path through the lush Hoh rainforest. The Spruce Nature Trail sees slightly less elevation change over a longer distance than the Hall of Mosses Trail, making it an easier alternative. Flora & Fauna Mild winters, cool summers and up to 12 feet of annual precipitation produce the giant conifers that dominate this rain forest, one of the most spectacular examples of temperate rain forest in the world.
Big-leaf maple and vine maple host an abundance of epiphytes (plants growing upon other plants) that give the rain forest its characteristic look and ethereal quality. A plethora of mosses, ferns and plants compete for space on the forest floor; grazing elk keep the understory open. Dead and downed trees decay slowly and support new life as ‘nurselogs.' The eternal cycle of life and death is strikingly apparent in this magnificent forest community. Contacts Land Manager: National Park Service - Olympic National Park
The Spruce Nature Trail takes its beginning as well as the Hall of Mosses Trail from the visitor’s center. It is a little bit longer than the Hall of Mosses, but most of the hikers consider it to be more picturesque. Along the way the hikers will encounter lots of green moss hanging from the huge trees, lots of fungus and many fallen trees. This trail is also considered to be more interesting and picturesque because it runs near the Hoh River. You may find the water in the river to be milky and whitish, this happens because the water carries silt from the melting glaciers. This path also leads the hikers between two fallen logs and then under one of them. This part of the trail shows the real size of the great trees. This trail is also a well-marked trail that can be hiked with kids. Children will have the opportunity to learn more about the ecosystem of the rainforest because there are lots of informational signs that will tell lots about the history and the present of the trees. Don’t forget to look for the wildlife here, because here there are possibilities to encounter different animals and birds as well as fish that live in the streams.

lol. I just said training hollow cause I didn't know wut to say. It's just a flat ground, pretty large, with ferns surrounding it. And the floor is covered with pine needles. Reason Washington is called the Evergreen State XD
