Inits, Sean 2005 journal June 7 Pine Creek, class Natural Forest, class Co., CA (cont) and searched for a hair under rocks along the stream. The part of the stream above the trail was snow covered and there was lots of water in the stream, so searching was difficult and I didn't find anything. I hiked down and went to another part of Roben's site 92, an unnamed side canyon off Pine Creek to the north (the further west of the two canyons he marked on his map). The canyon is very narrow and had a lot of water flowing through it, with lots of granite rock. The dominant vegetation was willow, along with some nettles. I found an adult female Hydromantes platycephalus under a rock alongside the stream. I then found another female further upstream under a rock in the splash zone of a small cascade (SMR #28, 37.37638°N, 118.68382°W (WG584, 30m acc.), 2287m elv.). I got swab samples from both these animals. I searched for about an hour, from 2-3 PM. I returned at night and searched between the following GPS points: downstream - (37.37569°N, 118.68322°W (WG584, 7m acc.), 2262m elv.) upstream - (37.37665°N, 118.68484°W (WG584, 52m acc.), 2321m elv.) I stopped at the upstream end because the canyon became nearly impassible, due to a waterfall and some large boulders. I searched from 8:50 PM - 12:25 AM
