MOON 187 Journal 71 17 May southeast of Goldstone Spring, Providence Mountains, San Bernardino co., CA. This morning I drove to the pipeline road above Vulcan Mine with the intention to hike up to the high peaks southeast of Goldstone Spring. I started hiking, from the pipeline road, at 0815 PST. First, I checked our ten pitfall traps in the area of Goldstone Spring. In one trap just below the desert almond bushes at the spring I found two live frogs and one dead, dried up toad (species account: Red-Spotted Toad). Just down the wash under an oak like bush I found two skinks, one adult male and one juvenile (probably male). In another trap at a spring a few hundred meters up the canyon southeast of Goldstone Spring I found two more adult male skinks (species account: Gilbert Skink). Another trap, in the sandy wash near the puddle of a spring I found another toad trying to burrow into the soil in the bottom of the bucket. The rest of the traps, at Goldstone spring and above, (6 traps) I found only beetles. cont'd.
