[pct-l] Frog Restoration

[ned at mountaineducation.org]

Seems to me that the LeConte Canyon Ranger, Rick Sanger, told us this past 
June when we were in there filming that there had been a group studying 
frogs in the unnamed, crescent-shaped lake at Starr's Camp just above Big 
Pete Meadow and below Black Giant prior to this summer. Unfortunately, this 
winter a large avalanche swept down from Black Giant and gouged-out the lake 
scattering ice from the frozen lake's surface and all their nets and 
measuring devices all across the nearby meadow and bushes.

For the early hikers that went through that area, that is what all that ice 
in the meadow was all about. Did you notice all the fine, grey silt on top 
of the ice? That was from the bottom of the lake! You probably noticed the 
broken branches strewn about the open meadow that came from trees 150 feet 
away around the lake at tree line. Pretty amazing aftermath!

In 2009 after a long Peak Baging Trip in the Evolutions we came out over 
Bishop Pass.

We picked up some hitchhikers working on the project and took them back to 
their base just South of Mammoth.

This is the Website for their Group which is called SNARL
