11:00 hours. The park at Fir Meadows. At the end of Canyon Road take a left and it is the very next left after the railroad tracks. It was cold and raining. The temperature was about 10 degrees celcius. It had been raining for a couple of days. I took a quick walk around the park and collected a moss off of cement that I believe lookd like Ceratodon purpureus. Our guest lecturer the other day, Shana, talked about this moss extensively, so I had an idea of what it looked like and the type of habitat it would grow in. The moss was also growing on the ground around the cement.
