Huge thank you to climbers/hikers at Tuolumne - reunited w/ key to car

Thanks to the climbers/hikers between Glen Aulin, Young Lakes and Conness, July 25-27: Posting here hoping some of you will see it and know your kindness was appreciated.

Half the mountain seems to have learned about my missing (dropped) grey mesh gear bag and the car key squirreled away inside it. By the time I made it down to the Tuolumne Wilderness Center:

(a) someone had found it by the trail and had dropped it off with park staff
(b) someone else who'd heard my tale of woe stopped by the visitor's center, inquired, id'd it and tagged it with my name and
(c) others stopped by just to check, too.

Thank you to everyone who ultimately reunited me with the gear/car key, and before that who advised on how to hotwire a Toyota Corolla in case of disaster, and otherwise commiserated with my (self-inflicted) sad situation. I've learned several lessons, and will be hiding multiple car keys in multiple places in the future, as well as not dropping bags. Thank you for being such a wonderful community of humans, as always.

Someone taught you how to hot wire a Toyota? ... On Mt. Conness! Awesome.

That's a great story. Some years ago, I dropped a camera while in the chimneys of Epinephrine in Red Rock. Somehow, it was found and returned to me by fellow climbers. Amazingly, the camera still worked (sorta) and the pictures I had taken were retrievable.
