Rants, Sean 2005 Journal 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.
