The spot Spencer and Mike headed to was the furthest back section of the area they were working on. The branches hung lower to the ground making it harder to get to some of the rocks. Mike's dad was planning on trimming back the lower branches, but decided to start clearing the area while he was trimming the first tree. The first rocks were easy to get to, but the ones under the tree were harder. Without gloves it would have been impossible due to the catbrier that filled the area. While grabbing a rock, Spencer also accidentally pulled some of the catbrier with it. The brier stuck to the glove after he tossed the rock into the pile. He absentmindedly started to toy with it, twisting and pulling it.
