Roughly 30 m South is plot GARI.60. 100 m SE is plot GARI.59. Peter's Creek is located across the river to the SW. We are within the NPS proclamation boundary but I believe that there is private land intermixed. To the west is a steep sandstone cliff.;Open forest community dominated by Virginia Pine. No herb cover in plot. The forest is sterile very little shrub cover within the plot. Old barkless stump located in plot. Little sign of recent man made disturbance.
Representativeness
Small patch just about the size of a plot of Virginia pine "rim-rock" forest. Similar to Virginia pine plot near Summersville Dam and the one above Meadow River. Only here it is more flat and there isn't any reindeer lichen
