Jenny and I went on a hunt for newts last weekend at Pine Flat Lake. I realized that it is little over a half and hour away and so we made it a short little sunday trip. It was super beautiful and we had success out at the lake. At first we went down to the dock and then followed a river up and after 15 min or walking up it, Jenny spotted the bright orange specimen. I got pretty excited and went further up and saw like 8 more! it was spectacular. She wanted a playmate for her current newt Hector. And since she is a biologist she loves to study the creatures. So here are a few pictures. We had a blast and are inspired to go Backpacking in Yosemite soon. If any of you are interested we would love for you to come along!!!
