Location Narrative	On breccia outcrop west of Balconies Cave (approx. 100 m from cave entrance). Unofficial trail runs parallel to plot (on the west side of outcrop). There is a pine that lives nearby, but due to sun angle, the shadow does not fall over the plot. Lichen-moss-bedrock alliance on breccia outcrop with one eroded section of the bedrock that runs E-W (with grasses, Selaginella, and litter). The plot is a rectangle, 5 m (E-W) x 20 m long (N-S).
