RichardP,
So sorry to hear about losing your beloved Rebel, you’ve done such great things with that camera.
I second Beachy suggestion to post a separate "Lost Camera" topic.
You might try posting over at SummitPost, as there was a SP group hike up Baldy that started ~6:30am on Sat 12/23 from Manker Flats. I don’t know if you think the camera may have still been there on Sat morning?
Hopefully Santa will get you another camera
Happy Holidays,
Rick G
ps, I had a great day of rock climbing at JT with my nephew on Sat (12/23)
