Right behind you, above the timberline west roughly of Bishop, about ten years ago they discovered two mummified corpses still strapped into their ultralight aircraft, both with broken legs. They were reported missing the previous year by their wives and some hikers found them. The authorities conjectured that they survived an emergency landing but were too injured to go for help and their cell phones were dead, so they froze to death.
Yeah, it is rough country around here. Steve Fawcett was found near here a couple of years ago, as well as two mummified crew members from a WWII plane crash.
