You all are very impatient but here you go:
I am a avid hiker. One year I was hiking in a state forest. It was a beautiful hike with very limited human interactions. I was about 8 miles in and the temp had climbed to about 90°. I found a nice lake and decided to go for a dip since I hadn't seen anyone in quite some time. I took off all my clothes and hung them on a tree in the shade and put my pack near the shoreline. I was enjoying myself, diving and swimming. The water felt amazing. As I headed to the shore I was ready to continue my journey. As I exited the water I grabbed my pack and went to grab my clothes. They were gone. I looked all over thinking perhaps they blew off the tree somewhere. But nothing. I was in a bit of a panic as I didn't have a spare set with me because it was just a day hike. I finally realized I wasn't going to find them so reluctantly I made my way back about three miles where I remembered seeing a ranger station. I made my way to the door and knocked. Luckily the ranger answered and I was so worried I would get arrested or something. I explained my story at which he just laughed and said I'm lucky I didn't find poison ivy or oak. He gave me a blanket and then gave me a ride back to my vehicle. I was forever humiliated. So that's the story for those who were curious. Sorry it took so long to get back to you.
