Parts, Sean 2005 Journal "Long Gulch" SE of Baker Ranch, Tuolumne Co, CA (catt) Feb.19 on both sides of the creek running down the middle (37.92765N, 120.24586W) (WGS84, 14macc), 645m. The southern exposure was fairly dry but we flipped a lot of rocks looking for H. brunnus. It looked like redoubtable habitat if a little dry. The northern exposure looked great - limestone covered with moss among oak and buckeye, but there weren't many rocks to turn. cl searched on the north-facing slope while the other three worked the area closer to the creek. We also brought Raymond, the ranch owner's son, who found six newts. We found 2 Eurycees gilbertii skinks but no H. brunnus. The spot deserves another look, especially during a rainy period. The weather was cloudy at first and then it rained fairly heavily as we were leaving. clt might have been a good night for salamanders but we had to get back.
