Prints, Sean 2005 Journal Marble Gulch, about 2.5km from junction of Bricelburg Rd and Old Yosemite Rd, north side of Brucelburg Rd, Mariposa Co, CA Feb. 18 Ted Papenfuss and I spent about an hour looking for E. brunus in the large limestone outcrop in Marble Gulch (37.73499N, 120.01060W (WGS84; cm accuracy), 894m) but found no salamanders. We were just east of the spot where I looked on my last trip and the limestone was much more massive in this spot. The soil was moist but most of the rock was dry, despite it being misty with a very slight drizzle. We searched for about an hour from 9:38-10:30 PM. cct was about 50°F. "Long Gulch" SE of Baker Ranch, above the North Fork of the Tuolumne River, Tuolumne Co, CA Feb. 19 Ted and I met Mike Sutton and Brian Duchoy, a Cal Fish & Game biologist. Brian is friends with the owners of Baker Ranch, a property that has some limestone that he had explored before. We went from the house up a dirt road and through a gate to a point overlooking the North Fork. We descended into Long Gulch, which had massive exposures of limestone.
