Don/Ed: I like the term stone block islands because that is exactly what they are but I had never thought of in that way. What I always find amazing is how many plants you see in those places that you'll never spot anywhere else. My personal favorite stone block island is out a rocky point in a heavily forested area that you get to by hopping across a series of three to four foot gaps to a very large rock about forty feet across and twenty or more feet deep. The top surface of the rock is covered with an incredibly soft carpet of six inch thick moss that causes my toes to beg the rest of my body to take my boots off....at least once a year the boots come off!
