Lost Memory Card on PCT/JMT around Muir Trail Ranch June 24
Posted: Mon Jun 29, 2020 10:20 am
Hope dies last: maybe, just maybe, somebody found my memory card.
This was on the afternoon of June 24, 2020, day 5 of an 8-day trip with my wife. Lollipop loop from Pine Creek via Italy Pass, some XC with a bit of PCT.
While southbound on the PCT between the two MTR connector trails, the full 64-gig memory card containing all of the previous days' pics fell from my holster. It was entirely my fault.
Next day, when we realized it was gone, we hiked 15 miles extra, trying to find it. No luck. At least 20-30 PCT thru- and section-hikers walked past that point by then, so I hope somebody found it.
If that's so, please contact me at hike@yourownhike.com. I will be eternally grateful.
Also, I would welcome any ideas where else to post this plea. I know the main PCTA forums are offline because of the current situation.
The card: Sandisk "Extreme" 64-gigs in white translucent sleeve. Contains app. 2,400 .cr2 files. (Yes, I know, I take way too many pictures. Can't help it).
I put up a page with more details on our website:
