29 July Riverside, Riverside Co., Calif.
To Riverside made on 27 July.
On this date Jerry and Joe
Klotz and myself attempted
ascent of San Gorgonio.
Because I miscalculated
length of trail - actually about
10 miles each way - the
summit was not reached.
However, no sign of habitat
suitable for Hydromantes
was seen though ascent
continued to 10,100 ft. No
snow visible, nor did
it appear that enough water
could be present to support
this species near summit.
Sceloporus graciosus abundant
at all but higher elevations
about trail. One taken.
30 July During hour prior to sunset and

ESE Riverside, Riverside Co. Rodent
