Memorial Info Request
Posted: Sat Sep 17, 2011 6:38 pm
This is a long shot....
I've heard a rumor that there is some sort of memorial to a friend from the Pasadena area who died in the Sierra in the late 1970's. His name was Steve Sheppard. He was in his late-teens or early twenties when he died. From what I remember, he was a pioneer in snow camping, but got hypothermia and died trying to get back to his car.
The rumor I heard is that there is a geographic feature named after him, formally or informally, or there is a small memorial to him somewhere in the Sierra. Does anyone have any knowledge of this? Did anyone know Steve?
Thanks!
