I used to go there to lose equipment. I have found stuff--multiple
stuffs--that I've left at a campsite the last time I hike a section of a
trail. I saw a park ranger walking with my homemade hiking staff, and said
"Hey! that's mine!" He said he thought it might be, as I seemed to leave
more useful stuff at Table Rock than anyone he knew. I had left that staff
months before, and didn't even remember losing it. I just thought I'd hidden
it from myself around here somewhere...
