Cornet Lake and Little Bear Lake, John Muir Wilderness,
Sierra National Forest, Fresno Co., CA
July 19 I hiked back to Cornet Lake following the same route
from Lake Italy as yesterday and camped near the lake.
I searched the stream flowing out from the lake down
toward Little Bear Lake from 2:30-3:30PM. I flipped
all the rocks I could find and looked in the waterfall
areas along the stream, and looked very carefully in
the area where I found the salamander yesterday. I
didn't find any more. I searched along another small
stream a few hundred meters to the east for 40 min.
but found nothing. I tried again at night, searching
from Cornet Lake down the stream to where I found
the salamander. I searched from 9-10:40PM but didn't
find any more. I collected some debris for Sean &
at this site (37.3318° N, 118.81097° W [WGS84, 10m acc.],
3426 m elev. @). I looked for an additional 10 min at
the other outflow stream from Cornet Lake that I visited
yesterday but saw nothing. I am surprised not to
have found more salamanders tonight. The day was
cool and mostly clear and the night was mildly
dark, about 12°C, and clear. The moon was full and it was
so light you could hike without a flashlight.
