From Grotto Falls Trailhead follow trail until you come to 1st creek crossing. Follow this creek up towards Rocky Spur about 400' in elevation. Plot is on the western side of creek about 25 m.
There are rotting logs and boulders in plot, but they are covered in mosses and herbs. A broad open cove, gentle slope but becoming steeper on sides and adjacent slope. -- Grades into Hemlock dominated stands throughout this watershed. Does'nt appear to be any logic to it... patches of hemlock and then patches of deciduous trees. Patches are large (stands) and may be correlated with substrate.
