This is a bizarre story. The area cited in another report - Red’s Meadow - is hugely popular with campers and hikers.
There would have been hundreds of people in this area on September 3, 2007 which was Labor Day. Also, although the terrain there is rugged, it is not heavily forested like some of the Sierra.
Hard to believe a plane could have gone down here on one of the summer’s busiest weekends and nobody noticed.
You wouldn’t think it would be so hard, but here it is 40 years later, and we are still getting pilots remains back from Viet Nam. We still have so many mountainous, forested, unpopulated regions here.
Thanks for the comments. It does sound strange doesn’t it.
That area is incredibly large, rugged, and mountainous. Planes disappear easily in those mountains. Yesterday I read the guy who found the wallet was hiking off the trail, so he would have been in a remote area. BTW, kudos to that guy for being an honest and upright man. They said there was a thousand bucks in the wallet. If he had kept it nobody would have known.
