Found Lost Camera In Desolation
I found a Cannon Powershot SD630 6.0 meg pix. It has a full year worth of photos including what looks to be the owners daughter’s wedding, shower, and trip to Matchu-pichu-Peru, Christmas, and the last photo taken of the spot where I found the camera. I think the owners are from the Huntington Beach CA. area based on the photos? I would like to return the camera to the owners so I am starting here in HST.

Re: Found Lost Camera In Desolation
I found a memory card on half dome a few years ago. It took me awhile, but I finally tracked down the owner. The card has the usual family pics, as you say, wedding, etc, but the key was that one of the kids was in a high school band. (I must admit I felt a little guilty looking at someone else's photos, but I didn't know of another way to find the owner). I searched and finally found the school, called the band director, and offered to send a pic of the kid. That wasn't necessary. As luck would have it, he had heard the story from one of his band members labout eaving a card on half dome. The rest was easy.
So, you might want to look for a church name in the wedding photos, or a restaurant name for the reception, etc. Anything that you can possibly trace back to the owner.

Re: Found Lost Camera In Desolation
Not like i would leave a camera behind, but your post made me put my phone number on my camera (in a similar manner to what i did with my dive fins.)
Thanks for the reminder.
You might want to check with Desolation Permit people to see if anyone reported a missing camera, or maybe to narrow your search.
