| I revisited this mountain rock outcrop area with Brad Wilson. I was first here seven years ago (2019) and discovered a seepy area which supported moisture loving plants not normally found on these high, dry outcrops. I'd been wanting to return, and when Brad said that he'd like to see it, we made a day of it. |
