Location: Eaton Canyon

Grant Site Discription
As my partner and I started exploring through the canyon and going through many varieties of trails. We saw this really cool trail that had a really old log on it and also this big pile of old branches so we decided to have our site there. I was actually located on the old log that we had found if you can see in m "Brd's Eye View." Our site was located right by a mountain. There was a path right in front of where I sitting that ran all through the canyon. The path was covered with different types of rocks, trees, branches, and different types of animals. I was sitting on top of a log that looked like a peice of a broken tree. While we were sitting at our site we could hear different animals and people that were exploring through the canyon. While sitting on the log I saw a variety of different types of animals and insects such as birds, bees, and lizards.
Camargo's Site Description
Habitat type: Chapperal
Dimensions: 10 paces by 8 paces
Our site is located a few feet away from the side of the mountain. There is a path that runs through the site and forks in the middle. The path is covered in rocks and prints from people wearing Vans and animals like dogs and horses walking through. There is also a Big-Leaf Maple (acer macrophyllum) right behind where I am sitting. My partner sits on a fallen, dead tree about 5 paces away from me. In between us and around us we see many plants and animals like lizards, bees, birds flying over head, and many Mediterranean Mustard plants. Some of the other plants that were there include mule fat, everlasting green and cliff aster. I can hear other groups talking, birds chirping, and twigs breaking as people walk on nearby trails.
