I joined ASCA for a field trip to this site Russellville Saturday. It was very cloudy and looked like rain was likely which kept attendance down. In the end, 10 people attended. We arrived at about 8:15 and walked first the “Old Shorty” section before switching to the western end. In all we walked about 2.5 miles over four hours. We didn’t see a lot unfortunately.
