点评:First time hiking Cape Chignecto, and I experienced every hikers worst nightmare....growing up on the shores of the Bay of Fundy I thought I was pretty savvy when it came to knowing the tides...I was so wrong! I went to explore a beach I saw off the trail. I sat my backpack against some rocks and climbed up a few meters on the rocks to enjoy the view...I got too wrapped up in the view and looked down to see my backpack riding a current out to sea. Everything except my sleeping bag, tent and sleeping pad were in that pack. I literally ran 7km back to the visitor centre. I went home knowing that I just lost about $2000 in equipment, including my pack. My Garmin inReach Mini 2 was clipped onto my pack. 4 hours later people on my MapShare got a ping, and it continued updating every 4 hours, despite the fact that it was floating in the ocean. I called the park, and then gave them access to my MapShare through Garmin. My packed seemed to be going in and out with the waves in a cove near where I lost it, and it was uncertain whether this cove was even accessible by land. Allen and Millard from the park actually went out that day at low tide and tracked my pack through my Garmin. I didn't have a prayer to ever see that pack again, but these 2 men went above and beyond to retrieve my belongings. I have no words to say how grateful I am to the park staff. I learned a valuable lesson to never underestimate the ocean, even as someone who should have known better. Even more, I learned that this park has amazing staff who will do whatever it takes to help you. Also, the park is beyond stunning!! Thank you again to Allen and Millard...you are 2 exceptional human beings!!!
翻译:第一次远足 Chignecto 角,我经历了每位远足者最糟糕的噩梦……在芬迪湾的海岸长大,我认为我在了解潮汐方面非常精明……我大错特错了!我去探索我看到的海滩。我把我的背包靠在一些岩石上,然后在岩石上爬上几米以欣赏风景……我太沉浸在风景中了,低头看到我的背包顺着水流出海。除了我的睡袋、帐篷和睡垫,所有东西都在那个包里。我真的跑了 7 公里回到游客中心。回家后我知道我刚刚损失了大约 2000 美元的设备,包括我的背包。我的 Garmin inReach Mini 2 夹在我的背包上。 4 小时后,我的 MapShare 上的人收到了 ping,并且它每 4 小时继续更新一次,尽管它漂浮在海洋中。我给公园打了电话,然后让他们通过 Garmin 访问我的 MapShare。我的背包似乎在我丢失它的地方附近的一个小海湾里随着海浪进出,而且不确定这个小海湾是否可以通过陆路进入。那天公园里的艾伦和米勒德实际上是在退潮时出去的,并通过我的 Garmin 追踪了我的背包。我没有祈祷能再次看到那个背包,但是这两个男人不遗余力地取回了我的物品。我无法用语言表达我对公园工作人员的感激之情。我学到了宝贵的一课,永远不要低估海洋,即使作为一个本应更了解海洋的人也是如此。更重要的是,我了解到这个公园有很棒的员工,他们会尽一切努力帮助你。此外,公园令人叹为观止!再次感谢艾伦和米勒德……你们是两个杰出的人!!!
