| 1 - January 25, 2020 I can't remember why I came up here in January. I think I stopped after an exploration at a nearby site. |

|
| 2 - May 29, 2020 Looking for some Fairy Wand, which I had found in this area three years ago. No luck. |
|
 |
|
| I did see quite a bit of Indian Paintbrush (Castilleja coccinea). |
|
 |
|
| Down at Glade Gap, I came across some Wild Sarsaparilla (Aralia nudicaulis). |
|
 |
|
| This was my first time coming across this species. |
|
| 3 - June 16, 2020 I went back, looking again for the Fairy Wand. Had better luck this time! |
