I just found out that two friends from Whitefish had the following stolen from the free campground just west of Windy Point on the south side of the river. I think this was Sunday May 22nd.
- Bibler Fitzroy - brand new big and yellow
- Matching 0 degree sleeping bags - one each
- Down parka - brand new
- miscellaneous doo dads, fleece, gloves, headlamps...
We climbed with them that morning, went out for lunch and wished them well on their dream vacation. When they got to the campground somebody swiped their gear.
These guys were the coolest of people, not rich and not deserving of this ill deed. Matt was a week away from leaving for a trip to Denali. Fortunately, he's there now and this didn't thwart his plans. I hope the people who did this get their due justice
Anyway, just a lesson to us all not to leave stuff in the free campgrounds with questionable neighbors.
