DHappel Posted June 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 From what I read on the linked site it sounds like no trail so plan on some bushwacking. Probably best there's no trail as a place like that would be easily overrun. It sounds like plenty of people have visited as it is. If you do a little research, there are lots of crash sights in the Sierras. This one sounds like one of the easier ones to find. Heck, planes have gone down in Yosemite and even knowing it the SAR people sometimes didn't find them for years. For a good read on SAR related stuff in Yosemite, pick up Off the Wall -Death in Yosemite. It sounds a little morbid, but it's actually quite interesting. It accounts for every recorded death in the park, including some pretty bizarre things. The author was a SAR ranger there for many years. Heck, I've got the book somewhere.

robg Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 The plane is located around Tells Peak - http://www.check-six.com/Crash_Sites/Sierras_B-17C_crash_site.htm It was a trail hike for a portion and rough brush for the rest (I still have pinstriping on my legs) We used GPS to locate all the parts. Sorry for the Yosemite reference, as a forigener everything up in the hills is Yosemite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
