Hiked May 16-19, 2008.
The weather was fantastic, although warming temps. are melting the snow and ice really fast. Descending trails were water filled as well as snow fields were post-holding like crazy. Water water everywhere! So no chance of dehydrating. Ascended the Chute up to Trail Crest. If you do intend to take this route, make sure you go up early (really early) in the morning and descend mid-day when the snow is nice and soft.

I lost an old Garmin Vista midway from Trail Camp to Summit. If any one finds it, could you please return it? It was a special gift. The return address will display on the startup screen.
Thank you.

Do you believe in miracles? Came home yesterday after work and what did I find in my mailbox? My prodigal Garmin Vista GPS! It was found 1 mile from the summit. Thank you Joel and Abbi for returning it to me. God bless you for your kindness.

Great news!!!! - I had a friend also find one and return it to it's owner by the information within the unit. The person who found mine on Baldy decided I didn't need it as much as they did - unless they are still trying to find Ridgecrest - but I can always hope.
