Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion Backpack on plateau above Williamson Bowl

Pack lost on the edge of the high plateau over Williamson Bowl, directly above the two small lakes feeding Williamson Creek (we accessed by Shepherd Pass) on October 22nd 2012
in a wind/snow storm:
I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE SOMEONE LETTING ME KNOW THE GPS COORDINATES OF THIS PACK IF YOU SEE IT! Thanks, gardvan

Blue/gray backpack with contents as follows (some items may not appear on list):
Suisse Sport sleeping bag
North Face parka, red
Buck sheath knife
iPod
Thermarrest pad
Uniden radio, red
Kelty Teton II tent
Headlamp
Utensil set
Camelback bladder
Compact stove and small fuel canister

Are you saying it has already been lost up there about 11 months? That's sure a long time!

Hello, Steve - I guess I have to get better at monitoring this site! Yes, it probably wouldn't have been productive to go back after the Oct 22 storm as it would have been covered with snow for the winter. I went back up in September, but couldn't locate where we hunkered down. Will try again in spring/summer! Thanks, Gard
