south and east of the
little coffee store house is typical
prairie grass land. A lava
rock fence leads east along the
volcano top from the pine grove.
The grass is heavy to the north
of this fence since no grazing
has been done there. Within this
grass one frequently finds
Signodon huds which look
as though they were well used,
also in the stone wall there are
many good signs of small
mammals. The stone wall
extends about a half a mile
to the east before it meets the
coffee and other brush land.

bush which is bent to the
ground from its many years
of resistance to the N.E. wind.
Along the protected slopes the
brush is thick and about arm-

sparsely at its base and many
large lava rock boulders
scattered here and there. Stock
