Maverick,
I wish you and the others the best luck possible in the renewed search. We maintained a running log of the search and the Seki news releases last October in this thread :
"Overdue Hiker"I don't recall anyone from this forum writing anything about being in the area the same time. But if they were, PLEASE post here or contact Maverick.
It is really sad that no sign if Larry Conn was found. The blanket of new snow did not help. Once all the snow melts, I am hopeful someone will come upon some of his gear.
