Rovito, Sean 2005 Journal Mt. San Gorgonio and Ten Thousand Foot Ridge, San Gorgonio Wilderness, San Bernardino C., CA (cat) July 15 stream a few hundred meters upstream. I stopped to look at the creek coming off Ten Thousand Foot Ridge below the springs. There were some wet areas with logs near this creek and some mossy rocks with crevices beside the creek. This area could potentially have salamanders as well. There was dense vegetation consisting of grass, ferns, chinquapin, nettle, ponderosa pine and a thorny brush with waxy [illegible] red-gran berries. I traveled eastward across and up the dry, rocky slope through manzanita and thin bushes. I overtook the path that Jamberlin drew on his map, and climbed back westward. I emerged near the top of the slope, close to where Jamberlin marked his salamander sites (34.10971°N, 116.79043°W [WGS84; 10 m acc.], 3065 m elev. There were lots of granite rocks in sandy soil amid ponderosa and lodgepole pines and manzanita. The area was snow-free, completely dry and looked unsuitable for salamanders, at least at the moment. There were plenty of rocks and downed logs; so if there were moisture from snowmelt [illegible] or precipitation this area might look more suitable. There were some small patches of snow where I crossed the ridge at the low, saddle-like point. I walked along the north side of the ridge until I met the trail above Fish Creek Saddle. The hike up from the springs was difficult, and I would hike to the site this way, along the ridge top, [illegible] if I were to do it again.
