Owens Peak

1/8/05

On Jan 1 I hiked up Owens Peak with Bob Rockwell's group.  Unfortunately, on the way down and near the summit, I lost my camera.  Thus, I decided to go back a week later to see if there was any chance to recover it.  With 2 feet of new snow at the trailhead however I knew this would not be possible.

Due to snow and the fact that my 4runner is in the shop I had to park at the 3800 ft level and nearly 4 miles below the trailhead and 2.75 miles short of where we had parked the week before (which was at 4965 ft).
