What's the default location for CrashReporter in Lion?

I know Library folder is hidden in OS X Lion. I'm unable find the folder named "CrashReporter". I would like to examine the folder for crash logs. Is the crash folder location changed in Lion?
Any further help would be appreciated. Thanks.

The folder for crash logs is the Macintosh HD/Library/Logs/CrashReporter. If the folder doesn't exist, I'm assuming you haven't experienced any crashes. It will probably self populate if needed. I think the CrashReporter in the the Application Support folder is specific application crash logs, and not crash logs for system calls and processes. All of the logs can be viewed easily in the "Console" Application located in Macintosh HD/Applications/Utilities. This application neatly divides up the different types of logs in a log list, and displayes the selected log in the main portion of the window. There are also developer tools built in via the menu bar items to work with the logs.
Another useful feature of the Console is the abilit to view logs from mobile devices such as iOS devices. In the log list they are grouped under the ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/MobileDevice directory.
