Yep, probably, but there's more Californians here than there. And plenty of people on both forums, too, but no harm getting word out, and then deleting once resolved.

Eh, maybe I'm a bit naive then. I don't think that tidbit of info would be very useful to anyone like that.

Good luck on this.
I know I freaked my folks out plenty in the early years, not showing up when I was supposed to.

If this is totally out of character for the young man, the sheriff's office is responsible for searches and should be contacted. There is heightened sensitivity to taking such reports seriously, given recent high profile cases like the Kim family in Oregon....any information that can help them locate the car (both where it may be and where it is not) and determine a possible site would be very useful.
Best wishes.

Wishing the best for all.
My beautiful blond hair German neighbor went to Greece on a school field trip. Met a good looking Greek dude....and ....well, shacked up with him. Neglecting the niceties of telling anyone or even calling her parents. It evidently caused quite the international brohaha until she went home about a month after her classmates and turned up quite unannounced and unexpected at her folks house. Whew. What a handful.
Hop the lad shows up with a good story and in fine form as well.

I already contacted to the sheriff's office and they checked all boldering locations near Bishop today. No car was found. I called them again recently and asked to check a climbing campground but did not have response yet. Anyway I'm going to drive to Bishop tomorrow morning.

Vitaly, Do you know what kind of gear he had with him? As Im sure you know there are many Alpine routes in the area. Over thanksgiving weekend three years ago I got stuck on Whitney's East Buttress. The worst night of my life, I had to endure 10 degree weather with 30 mph winds with only a light weight jacket. The worst part was knowing my parents were thinking I was either dead or seriously hurt and not being able to communicate with them. Im guessing this might be the case. Maybe check the Whitney Portal area as well. I hope you're able to find him soon. Keep us posted.

He probably took his harness and helmet but it looks like all ropes, cams, slings and even quickdraws are at home. He is not a fun of any kind long multi-pitch/trad routes so I don't think he is in Alpine area.
