In June 2019, Curtis Whitson, Krystal Ramirez and their
son Hunter decided to go backpacking along California's Arroyo Seco River. Things
went well for the first two days. On June 16, Whitson led the trip to a waterfall.
They had planned to use a rope(绳索)to come down the
side of the waterfall. However, when they arrived there, Whitson found the water
flowed (流动)too fast. To make matters worse, their rope
was missing.
Since going back was dangerous as well, they tried to find
other ways to get around the waterfall. But there was no other way out.
The three tried shouting each time they heard voices and
even threw a stick. When neither worked, Whitson decided to carve (刻) a "HELP" message
on the side of his water bottle. Before throwing it in the waterfall, he also put
a dated note in it. He hoped that someone would find it. Then the three found
an open place to camp for the night. Before sleeping, they put a blue floor
cloth on the ground and spelled "SOS" out using white rocks. They also
used a headlight to lighten the sign. After midnight, they heard a noise and
woke up. A helicopter was flying overhead. Help arrived.
Two hikers had discovered the bottle and reported it to
the police. Whitson said, "They didn't leave their names or phone numbers.
They just did what was right in their heart, and took it seriously. I can't
thank them enough. "
