Don:
 
About 250' in elevation above the valley bottom there is a 50' cliff and  the 
rock broke off the cliff at sometime in the past.  The rock was cracked  and 
the PI might have caused the crack.  In that area there are miles of  woodland 
with a 50' cliff between uplands and lowlands.  In some places you  will 
encounter large rocks at the base of the hills that can be up to 50 or 60'  
across 
and 30 or more feet thick.  In those areas, especially where there  has been 
a long time forest cover the non woody plants growing on top of the  rocks in 
locations that are inaccessible to deer or other types of grazing  critters 
can be diverse enough to cause you to pause...especially if you have a  weak 
spot for rare ferns.
