Povits, Sean 2006 Journal Lake George, Mammoth Lakes Basin, Mariposa Co., CA (cont.) July 6 ...Finally, I drove to Lake George in the Mammoth Lakes Basin to try to get more samples from the site I found there last year. I walked past the usual site to a larger seep area just to the south (37.59714°N, 119.01509°W [WGS84, 8m acc.], 2799m elev.) and started searching at 1810. The habitat looked perfect but I found nothing. At 1835 I walked over to the seep habitat where I've found salamanders before and searched until 1905. I found 3 juvenile H. platyphena, one under a rock and the other 2 in mossy rocks. Water has stopped falling from above and this area will be dry soon. I think it would be necessary to search at night to find adults here, although I did look once at night last year and didn't see any adults. Today was warm, in the upper 80s, and mostly clear. Half Moon Lake, Resolation Wilderness, Eldorado NF, El Dorado Co., CA July 7 This morning I drove north to Lake Tahoe and past Fallen Leaf Lake to the Resolution Wilderness trailhead at the west end of the lake. I hiked up the trail to Half Moon Lake and searched a big waterfall and seep zone along the west side of the lake (38.89439°N, 120.14374°W [WGS84, 10m acc.], 2523m elev.). The rocks was volcanic but with lots of cracks, and lots of good rock-on-rock seep areas. It looked great for salamanders, but I saw none from 1555-1710. I did collect 1 Eurycea for Dean & S. On the way back I saw a potentially good seep zone on the N side of Cracked Cog, to the south of me. It was warm in the morning, with rain at 1700 when it cooled off.
