I received an email from Michael's mom and dad a week ago.

They are asking the hiking community for help if anyone can -- here's some of what she wrote:

Quote:
We are certain some of Michael's equipment is still up above Meysan Lake where he was found--lost during the avalanche. I'd like to get messages posted so that anyone hiking and climbing in the area once the snow is pretty much gone, should they come across any of his items, to please take it to the Sheriff's Office in Lone Pine.

I'm going to see if I can post something at High Sierra Topix, too.

We are certain the following were lost: an ice axe, a Go Pro camera, silver, GPS (don't know which brand) and white framed Julbo Camel sunglasses.

Thank you so very much for any help or suggestions on how we can get this information out.

Sheriff's office in Lone Pine: 726 N Main St, Lone Pine, CA 93545   Phone:(760) 876-5606

More info: The GPS unit is a Garmin GPSMap 62s. Ice axe: Black Diamond Raven 70 cm.
