Author Location	Solstice Canyon
Location Narrative	Also written on hardcopy is RELEVE #102x. Areas lower on slope dominated by native perennial grasses. Mid slope dominated by Opuntia littoralis and Malosma laurina. Higher on slope is less Opuntia littoralis and more Malosma laurina and native grasses. Upslope area of polygon steeper. Elevation from GPS inaccurate. Evidence of fire.
