Howdy Mike,

That is the pits -- I am so sorry

I was lucky when my SPOT ran away on San Jacinto last winter -- it was found by a female hiker and SAR member. She contacted SPOT, they contacted me, and she returned it. I'm hoping whoever picked yours up will figure out how to return it.

Miles of smiles,
Ellen

Thanks, Ellen!

UPDATE:

I got a call today from Globalstar and my SPOT has been found. The person who found it was on vacation and didn't have time to call Globalstar sooner.

Hey there people,

I don't know why I didn't think of doing this before, but here god nothing.

On the day Taco and a few others were giving their clinic (Jan 8th), I planted my Black Diamond (dark gray, 70mm) ice axe in a snow bank Right next to the road by the entrance to the ski hut trail, close to the porta potties.

Did anyone happen to find it?? It was my first axe and it broke my heart to lose it

. My buddy and I had the same one and when we packed the car I assumed his was mine.. Yup, horrible judgement at that point.
Anyhow, please let me know, thank you very much!

Wild, pop into the Mt. Baldy Visitor Center in Baldy Village. they have a lost & found. it's a long shot, but someone might have turned it in. it sux to loose gear.

Hey Norma,

Thank you for the suggestion. It is kind of hard for me to do that though since I live in San Diego and currently do not own a vehicle. I will stop by next time I am there however

Yes it does.. considering how expensive it is! Take care

Give the center a call at (909) 982-2829. At least, you can find out if it is there.

How the heck do you lose an ice oxe?

Post by **HikeUp** » Tue Mar 01, 2011 9:17 pm

dang. tough crowd.

Post by **Taco** » Tue Mar 01, 2011 10:25 pm

Sorry, I have no idea what you're talking about.

Smiley face to denote not trying to sound like an asshole in my response on the internet, where emotions are impossible to convey otherwise.

I get it!

It's an Ox, but he spelled it with an "e" on the end so it looks more like axe.

Then, it's on the snow and ice, so it's an "ice oxe", which is also how a proper British gentlemen would pronounce "ice axe".

THen, the ox is big, so it would be tough to lose.

Welcome to the illustrated guide of puns for idiots!

norma r · Post by **norma r** » Wed Mar 02, 2011 9:12 am

saw neither the axe or the oxe yesterday.

btw.. Dave G, the snow has melted off the willows above the hut. we might plan a recovery hike for your helmet.

Ha! My grandma's axe is better than yours.

Lost a Black Diamond ice axe in the south fork meadows area ( or somewhere around there) of San G., leash with a green metolius biner.

If you run across it, could you please help me get it home to it's owner.

Thanks, Steve

She's doing fine. We took her out for a little hike to the creek near our place. She thought leaves and sticks were the best toys. She laughs and giggle when we take her for a walk -- if she doesn't fall asleep that is.

She's really beautiful...that look on that face...I'm sure it means more to you than you thought anything ever could.

She's my little angel. We'll take her up the tram when the weather warms up a bit more.

Please PM to tell me how to stop losing things, or better yet if you have my Thermos.

Actually not mine at all- I swiped it from my 3rd grader's lunch box.

EDIT: DOH! It was in the car (Don't ask...)

Like a total dumbass, I left something important lying on the ground where I had lunch today. If anyone is going there soon, I would LOVE it if you could grab the item for me. $20 REI gift card as a reward.

Item has no monetary value, but it's valuable to me.

PM me for specifics.

Thank you!!

There was a roll of film found about 30 odd feet from the summit register box on Sunday a top of mount Sill in the Sierra's. The film is now in the register box thanks to Mike Moody from the Bay area
