I've left a water bottle and a pocket knife once, but it was no big deal.
Thursday morning we dropped the truck at Watauga Dam then we drove to Shady Valley to start our hike. This hike would be my wife's first two nighter. So, I wanted everything to go right. ...
We started down the trail and everything was perfect. We took a brake and I gave my wife the house key and the unlock button for our cherokee.
During one of our brakes on our second day my wife said that I never gave her the key to the truck. I hoped it was in my bag somewhere and I'd find it when we stopped to make camp.
I didn't find it.
On our last day and only a couple of miles from the truck she asked about the keys again and what we are going to do. She didn't seem to concerned so I thought she was playing with me and that she had the key the whole time.but I didn't let on that I thought she had the key.
When we got to the truck is when I realized neither she or I had the key to the truck. When we dropped the truck off early in the morning I was wearing a fleece jacket. I put the key in that pocket. I hadn't planned on wearing that jacket for hiking. It was just for our ride. ... We finally found a family member to run us up to shady valley for our key.
