Rants) Dean 2005 Journal Shannon Canyon, Inyo National Forest, Inyo Co., CA (east) July 3 ... and another part of the stream actually flowed along and in the dirt road. I flipped rocks along the road for some distance. The habitat looked quite good, especially near the canyon mouth, and I searched from 2-3:30PM. I finally found two juvenile salamanders under a large rock at the edge of the stream/road and at the bottom of the granite canyon wall. They were grey and black rather than the gold and black I am used to seeing. I got a swab sample for one of them (5C2) and took a photo, and collected the other (5MR35) since the museum doesn't have any specimens from here. I also deployed data logger #883624 in this spot, on the west side of the road about 50m from the canyon mouth, at 4PM (37.21523°N, 118.38904°W [WGS84, 12m acc.], 1640m ele.). I took the juvenile I collected back to the car, but I had no ice and it was over 100°F and sunny, and it died shortly after I reached the car even though I put it on ice. I thawed it that evening. I left and attempted to drive up to the canyon at night on the dirt road that ends in the canyon, but the road was rocky and my car couldn't make it, so I turned back. I want to return to this side later since it seems like great habitat.
