Larry Schafer
Mount Baldy, CA
It is believed that Larry Schafer disappeared while hiking in the Mt. Baldy area of the San Gabriel Mountains on or around 03/14/82. He had been planning a trip to Cucamonga Peak prior to his going to Mt. Baldy. He was an experience hiker and has been hiking in the San Gabriel Mountains since he was about 8 years old, but this time he may have hiked into the rugged mountain area just in front of a severe winter storm (dropping temperatures and severe winds with snow and rain) and possibly became trapped in the snow. His vehicle was located in the Ice House Canyon Lodge parking lot. An extensive 3 day search of the area was unsuccessful in locating Schafer. It is believed that he had full climbing and camping equipment with him. He may have had a blue down jacket, a green sleeping bag, an orange back pack.
