If anyone is going by Charlotte Lake (less than a mile off the PCT, at
about mile 789), I lost a man's titanium wedding ring there about a week
ago.  It's  just Ti, so no great monetary value, but of course it has
sentimental value to me personally.  I'm offering a $100 cash reward for
your time and trouble.  I'll put down below some clues as to where I
believe it is.  If you'll be in that area, please take a look.  :)

1.  The ring was lost at the west end of Charlotte Lake in the flatish
forested area seen in the right hand side of this photo.

2.  Nearby were two brown/tan large Knaack brand jobsite sized (really big)
tool chests, presumably used for food storage by horse packers.  These are
not the bear lockers that the NPS puts into place.  Here's a sample photo,
below.  I was just east (30 yards?) of the tool chests in a flat area
*above* the trail.

3.  Here's a map link to a topo map showing the approximate location of the
Knaack tool chests and the ring which I set down on top of a rock.  You'll
have to zoom in a couple of clicks to make sense of the map.  Note that the
location of the trail as shown on the USGS map is incorrect.  I've placed a
dashed line on the map to indicate the actual route of the trail
(approximately).

I'd love it if someone were able to find it.

Thanks,

HJ
