Landscape Narrative	Site is tucked away near intersection of busy road, with a casual trail leading to spring. Just downhill are huge sycamore on the bouldery flat.;Cliff line - boulderfield amphitheatre at head of spring. Large shoe-box to car sized limestone boulders are exfoliating from cliffs above. Boulderfield is almost completely shaded by scattered basswood and hackberry. Rocks are covered with vines, cup flower, and mosses.
