Found GPSr in eastern Sierras


Recommended Posts

Hi

This was posted to a birding list I belong to.

I thought that perhaps, other than me, there might be others who bird while they cache hunt and this might help someone.

Hi Calbirders,

 

I received the following message about a found GPS receiver. Do not respond

to me, or to the list. Contact Lance directly at

mailto:lance@reason.jpl.nasa.gov.

 

=============== forwarded message ==================

Hi Steve,

 

As Calbirds co-owner, I'm emailing you to ask if you would be willing to

post a message to Calbirds on my behalf. I'm taking this circuitous

approach because my only email is at work and our policy here at JPL is

that we aren't supposed to join listservs that aren't work-related.

Here's the deal:

 

On March 10 I found a GPS receiver at a well-known birding location in

the eastern Sierras. The receiver contains numerous birding locations

in California and elsewhere along the west coast in its database,

suggesting that the receiver was lost by a birder from California. The

receiver still works but the batteries that were in it are dead. I

would like to return the receiver to its rightful owner and I thought

that Calbirds might help locate that person. I request that the owner

contact me privately at mailto:lance@reason.jpl.nasa.gov (i.e. not on Calbirds

since I don't subscribe) with the make, model, serial number, and

location where the receiver was lost in order to verify ownership.

 

Best wishes,

Lance Benner

 

Good birding,

Steve for general use

for rare birds and emergencies only

Doubt it. That Lance referenced Missoula, MT as his home territory and JPL is in the San Diego, CA area. For what it's worth, that Lance doesn't appear to be Lance Armstrong (Austin, TX, Santa Barbara, CA, Paris, FR) or Lance Henrikson (Hollywood, CA)., either.
