Lost Camera Plea
If anyone should happen to find a Canon Powershot SD800IS Digital ELPH near Garnet Lake, I sure would love to hear from you. I lost it when I was following the blue line on the above map, somewhere near Garnet Lake. My email address is phillipsbob27@yahoo.com. I was heading along the lake to the pass that separates Thousand Island from Garnet, after having just come cross country from Thousand Island. I am sure the camera was covered with snow until the Spring of 2008. It was in a case with an extra battery and memory card. The camera had many images of my son, his friend, and me both in Yosemite and along these trails.
