Parts, Dean 2005 Journal Arace Meadow, Yosemite National Park, Tuolumne Co., CA and Dorthy Lake Pass, Inyo National Forest, Mono Co., CA Aug. 18 Kim and I walked down the PCT to Arace Meadow. Along the way, I collected butterflies for Dean S. at 3 localities (35-39). We flipped logs along the way but found nothing. When we reached the meadow, Kim found egg masses under a log in the dirt, and I took one (SMRG8). We searched for about half an hour in and around the meadow, but all I found was a small pond with [illegible] tadpoles in it and some more egg masses under a log. We walked west up the ridge and I found a garter snake out among grass and rocks (SMRG9) (38.14054°N, 119.61824°W [WGS84, 10m acc.], 2062m elev.). I found two Elgaria and another lizard (probably Elgaria) in this area but couldn't catch them since they escaped under rocks. I walked upslope to a large area of seeps and looked for Hydropsites from 2:45-4PM, but found none (38.14139°N, 119.62399°W [WGS84, 10m acc.], 2906m elev.). The habitat looked great- granite, lots of water, some vegetation including grass, moss, ferns, and lots of wildflowers. There were plenty of rocks to turn and crevices to look in, and I didn't have time to check the whole area. These seeps had an eastern exposure. At dusk I hiked over Dorothy Lake Pass to look at some seeps I'd seen on the hike in. I searched from 8:20-9:15PM about 0.5km NW of the pass, but most areas were dry with only a little water seeping out of cracks. This looks like it could have been good salamander habitat earlier in the year. I found 2 P. regilla adults out on the rock near some small seeps (SMRG1+62).
