I went to Clemson years ago. No really decades ago. So my memory is vague. I had friends on zoology, biology and forestry (I was a chemistry major). They took me to a place maybe 10 or 20 miles away from campus that was an isolated ecosystem. It was on the top of a rock outcropping and was a little moist eco-system of lichens, moss and air plants. Some trees. It was so cool. Wish I knew the name of it. I was also fascinated with the plants and other life there. Not like anything I saw growing up in the burbs of Orlando.
