A Random Family Watched The Valuables Of My Friends And I While We Were Hiking

By a friend • August 7, 2025

My friends and I went on a hike leading down to a creek and up a waterfall today. There was a family at the mouth of the falls, that had looked like they were there for awhile and were getting ready to go. It was a steep climb up and down a rope, so for safety we decided to put our backpacks at the mouth of the falls and just come back for them on the way down.

Once we scale back down the waterfall (around 30 minutes later) the family sees us coming and tells their kids “alright guys, let’s head home.”

It might have just been a convenient coincidence but I’d rather assume they were keeping an eye on our stuff. Didn’t get to say thank you, either.

So……..massive thanks to the random family that watched a group of teenagers scale a waterfall and waited until they were safely back down to leave.

Made my day :)
