Howdy Mike,

That is the pits -- I am so sorry :cry: 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.

:D

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!

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.

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.

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 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!!
