Limestone Cliff
After visiting Kitch-iti-kipi in Palms Book State Park, we explored Fayette Historic State Park which featured a historic townsite, harbor slips, a boat launch, a beach and some hiking trails. The harbor was surrounded with some impressive west-facing limestone cliffs.
**********
"The vertical structure of cliffs causes constant erosion and restricts soil development to the cliff edge, cracks, ledges, and the base of the cliff where organic matter and soil particles can accumulate. The thin soils and direct exposure to wind, ice, and sun produce desiccating conditions that limit plant growth. However, cliff aspect and local seepages result in a variability of site moisture conditions. "

Thanks for viewing, wishing you a happy Friday!
