Havito, Bear 2005 Journal July 23 Hite Cave, 5 Fork Merced River, Sierra National Forest and Bridalveil Falls, Yosemite National Park, Mariposa Co., CA I drove from Lake George to Yosemite and the Merced River area to put out my data loggers. I parked at the Hite Cave trailhead and walked the fini to Hite Cave in extreme heat (near 100°F). I saw lots of Aspidoscelis on the trail. There were several creeks along the trail with western exposures that had mossy shaded areas that could be good for H. brunnes in the winter. I failed the river to get to Hite Cave.

The area was full of mossy rocks, with poison oak, grey pine, buckeye and other vegetation. I walked back to the car and drove to Yosemite. I walked up to Bridalveil Falls at dusk. I placed data logger # 873954 in a crevice under a rock with a NW-facing opening at 8:45 PM (37.71536°N, 119.64602°W [WGS84, 21m acc.], 1285m elev.). There was no vegetation in the immediate area besides moss, although there were some bushes nearby. The area received some spray from the falls and the rocks were wet, but the logger should be sheltered. cIt is about 20m W of a very large boulder with a very flat slanted side, and just NW of an even larger relatively flat-sided boulder with
