	Just talked with my son. He and two of his friends are at the
top of Ebbetts Pass. They left Yosemite Valley on 6/14/11. He said that
snow is 5 to 8 feet deep everywhere, and water crossing are a challenge.

They are pushing on and plan to be in Echo Lake around Noon on 6/23/11.
There is a hiker ahead of them that they plan to catch today, and i
think he said there was a group further ahead. I might have got that
wrong. Cell reception wasn't that great. 


 
These are probably the three I met in Strawberry and gave a ride back to
Echo Summit on Saturday afternoon, June 25.  The departure from Yosemite
Valley, and their passing Ebbetts Pass on June 23 fits their
description.  They said that they were from Colorado.  They said that
they planned to drop their bear cans near Donner Lake.  I could be
mistaken, but I think they said that their hike would terminate
somewhere in Washington.
 
They might be walking alone as a threesome for a while - catching or
finding someone ahead would be some trick....
