R. MOON 1987 Journal 55 6 May Goldstone Spring, Providence Mountains, San Bernardino co., CA elev. ~+1420m. Bruce and I drove to Vulcan Mine to hike up and check our 10 pitfall traps in the Goldstone spring area. I hiked up to the spring from the pipeline road while Bruce drove back down to the mine tailings area to look for spiny lizards. When I began the hike up it was 1300 PST, sunny, and ~30°C. As I went up the road to the spring it got very cloudy from the east and there was lightning and thunder over the mountains north of Foshay Pass. It stayed 25-50% cloudy for the rest of the day while we were out. I found several lizards in five traps near Goldstone Spring; two adult skinks and a dried up toad in three traps near a desert almond bush below the spring, and two adult spiny lizards (one male, one female) in one trap under a large desert almond shrub above the spring where there was no surface moisture (Species accounts: Gilbert Skink; Red Spotted Toad; Desert Spiny cont'd
