Notes
After a weird hailstorm in 40-degree weather that turned into periodic drizzle, thunder, and downpours at intervals, I saw two of these majestic salamanders in rock crevices, but was unable to get the first one out for pictures or get a good picture of it in the rock crevice. The second was slightly more cooperative.
