Observation Narrative	Plot located in lower portion of largest grassy opening on a broad spur knoll a the lower slope of a diverse complex of dolomite glades. Lateral drainage of water appears to have a profound effect on maintaining the prairie-like vegetation. Calcium carbonate precipitate occurs on gravel in the seasonal channel and to a certain degree forms a whitish cast on the exposed soil. Soils are evidently seasonally moist judging by thousands of Dodecatheon meadia. The unusual soil conditions create an extremely harsh environment for plant growth and many plants are noticeably stunted. An absolutely beautiful area; the flowering display of Dodecatheon, Castilleja coccinea, etc. must be unbelievable. Cover values of trees and shrubs estimated as if they still retained their full complement of leaves.
