draw until cl got to an area with mossy limestone that looked good for Salamanders. There was a lot of vegetation on the S side of the draw, including oak, poison oak and many shrubs, but the N side was grassy and more sparse. cl put the data logger just out of the streambed on the N side, near limestone and partly shaded by vegetation (37.60582°N, 120.13609°W (WGS84, 10m acc.), 291m elev), [illegible] data logger #837950). cl put ~30cm of pipe in the ground, so it should stay there, but it was on a steep slope. cl put it in at 9:50PM. Next, cl drove to the type locality near Bridalburg. cl climbed up the slope a few meters east of the water fountain and put in data logger #873952 about 10m. above road level amid oak and poison oak. cl couldn't get a good GPS reading at the logger so cl took one below on the road (37.61127°N, 119.95737°W, (WGS84, 6m acc.), 355 m elev or 365m at logger). The slope was extremely unstable with several recent landslides, hopefully not caused by me, and cl could still see small depressions from my footsteps from last time. The slope is too fragile to walk on, so cl won't do it anymore. cl deployed the logger at 12AM (June 28). Finally, cl drove to Bridalveil Falls to put a logger there. The spray zone extended well past the vista point, and the spray was so strong that cl couldn't get near the falls, plus the walk over the wet rocks was dangerous. cl'll have to return later or in the year.
