Landscape Narrative ? Cacapon State Park - this area is about 3 miles behind a locked gate on a little - traveled rocky road. The old road runs about 50m from plot and is occasionally used by horses and hikers.;Flat - lying Tuscarora sandstone outcrop, ledges, and boulderfield on summit of Cacapon Mtn, facing NW. Large trees grow in cracks and depressions, creating dense canopy cover. Shrub layer is sparse and herbs nearly absent, with the exception of invading garlic mustard. Cored a 60 yr old T2 Tilia with a dbh of 39cm. Approximate "line" of very large chestnut oaks and red oaks (127 cm dbh) runs along ridge through the stand - maybe old boundary trees.
