Comment Photos capture ruggedness of Fosset crash location (Score 1) 303
While looking at your 2004 photographs of the Ansel Adams Wilderness Area I realized you almost took picture of the region where Steve Fosset crashed in 2007.
The future crash site is near the middle left-hand side of the photographs of "Banner Peak (12,945 feet) and Mt. Ritter (13,157 feet)." Just beyond a ridgeline above a small snowfield. The angle of the photograph doesn't show the actual slope that Fosset crashed into last year.
Looking at the photographs you get a sense of the beauty of the region, the ruggedness of these mountains, and an understanding of the difficulty of finding a small missing airplane within the various valleys and rocks.
