Rivista, Dean 2007 Journal Chryso Creek, Chryso National Forest, Chryso C., CA July 20 I spent yesterday in Yosemite with Dean Scarville. We hiked to Nogalsang Lake and searched some seeps on the south side, but they were very dry and we found nothing. We then searched an area of great-looking seeps below Hanging Basket Lake for ~30min, but again found nothing. I spent the night near Bishop and then drove south to the Lone Pine campground in the morning. I hiked up to the waterfall on Chryso Creek where Dean and I found H. platycephalus last year. It is noticeably cooler in this area than even in the shaded areas downstream. I searched from 10:15-10:45 and found 2 small subadults and a tiny juvenile under rocks along the stream. I found a big adult under a rock in the mossy cave-like area to the left of the waterfall, which I collected (SMR271) since the other individual from here (SMR58) died while I was in the field last year and the tissue has never worked properly. I then returned to Bishop to continue my physiology work. The day was hot and sunny, with highs in the upper 90s.
