点评:This is a slightly different review. I did not go down the river with AzRA, but someone with AzRA found my missing phone. I was backpacking in Havasupai in August 2023, and one day, a group of us went down to the confluence of Havasu Creek and the Colorado. On the way back, it was brutally hot, so at some point, maybe two miles from the confluence, I decided to submerge myself into the creek. Just before I went in, I realized I had my phone in my pocket. I took it out of my pocket and put it.....somewhere. When I got out of the water, I dried off and we all took off on the path along Havasu Creek. Eventually, I realized I didn't have my phone.
I told everyone to go ahead, and I turned back to try to find my phone. In hindsight, that was stupid. I did not find my phone, and by the time I turned around to back to camp, I realized that I had not paid attention to where the trail went up to the plateau to get back to camp. I could see where I needed to get up, but I had no idea where the trail was. After an hour or so of searching, I decided that I would hunker down and sleep near the creek and wait until the next day when more people would come down. Thankfully, I am an avid backpacker so I had an inReach device, extra clothing and food, and plenty of water. The stars were amazing, and I had fun watching the bats eat dinner.
The next morning, I moved myself directly onto the trail so that I would be able to have someone show me where to climb up. Eventually, a young man looking for me came across my spot and showed me the way up. I knew it was right there, but it was not obvious unless you knew where to look. I was sad that I lost my phone and all the awesome photos, but I was happy that I would be able to make my flight home (despite having no credit card or license as that was all attached to my lost phone).
Three months later, I got a phone call. AzRA had found my phone, license and credit card included. I have no idea who found it or where they found it, but I was thrilled. I got my photos back! What a wonderful gift. Thank you whomever you are! I would really love to know how it was found. Thank you!
翻译:这是一篇略有不同的评论。我没有和 AzRA 一起下河,但 AzRA 的人发现了我丢失的手机。 2023 年 8 月,我在哈瓦苏派背包旅行,有一天,我们一群人前往哈瓦苏溪和科罗拉多河的交汇处。在回来的路上,天气非常热,所以在某个时候,大约距离交汇处两英里,我决定把自己浸入小溪中。就在我进去之前,我发现我的手机在口袋里。我把它从口袋里拿出来放在……某个地方。当我从水里出来后,我擦干了身体,然后我们就沿着哈瓦苏溪的小路出发了。最终我发现我没有带手机。
我让大家继续前进,然后我转身去找我的手机。事后看来,这是愚蠢的。我没有找到手机,当我转身返回营地时,我意识到我没有注意通往高原的小路返回营地的位置。我可以看到我需要在哪里起床,但我不知道小路在哪里。经过一个多小时的寻找,我决定在小溪边蹲下来睡觉,等到第二天更多人下来的时候。值得庆幸的是,我是一名狂热的背包客,所以我有一个 inReach 设备、额外的衣服和食物,以及充足的水。星星很漂亮,我看着蝙蝠吃晚饭很开心。
第二天早上,我直接走上了小路,这样我就可以有人告诉我该往哪里爬。最终,一个寻找我的年轻人偶然发现了我的位置,并给我指了路。我知道它就在那里,但除非你知道去哪里看,否则它并不明显。我很伤心我丢失了手机和所有很棒的照片,但我很高兴我能够乘飞机回家(尽管没有信用卡或许可证,因为这些都附在我丢失的手机上)。
三个月后,我接到一个电话。 AzRA 发现了我的手机、驾照和信用卡。我不知道谁发现了它,也不知道他们在哪里发现的,但我很兴奋。我的照片回来了!多么美妙的礼物啊。不管你是谁,谢谢你!我真的很想知道它是如何被发现的。谢谢你!
