Ronto, Dean 2006 Journal July 4 Sixty Lake Basin, Kings Canyon National Park, Fresno Co., CA I hiked up the stream on the east slope of Mt. Cotter and started surveying the seep zone on the south side of this basin at 0930. I continued up the south slope, flipping rocks in the seep areas, but found nothing. I made it all the way to the base of Mt. Cotter at the top of the basin and then started down the north side. Most of the seep areas were dried up, but I found 3 juvenile I. platycephalus under small rocks in a fairly dry granite seep zone with a little grass and heather (36.84231°N, 118.43736°W [WGS84, 7m acc.], 3465 m elev.) at 1115. This is the same spot where I found salamanders last year. I walked down to the small waterfall above the lake. The habitat looked perfect for salamanders, but I found only 1 Iolivia, which I collected for Dean & . It started to rain (some freezing rain) and thunder at 1200, so I went back to camp. Nance, Jate and Dean returned and we sat in the tent and drank lots of whiskey. I went to sleep at 4PM, waking up at 2100 to set before going back to bed. Dean and Nance went to the seeps on the S side of Mt. Cotter, in the general area of my data logger. They swabbed 5 salamanders, including one found out on the snow, at (36.81178°N, 118.43306°W [WGS84, G mass.], 3376 meters). No photos of the salamanders were taken.
