A man and his family are hiking in Muir Woods National Monument. He later takes another trail and plans to meet the rest of the family back at the parking. From that period forward his hike turns bizarre.
"Here's my experience in 2018. I traveled to San Francisco with my wife who grew up there. We drove on August 19th to Muir Woods National Monument with my wife's sister and husband. It is an old-growth Redwood forest fed by the waters of Redwood Creek. I worked for roughly 25 years as a volunteer youth sports coach and was very comfortable with children of any age.
We arrived at the park at 9:00 a.m. It was a beautiful day, the weather was fair and the trail was cool enough. My wife and sister-in-law decided to wear sweatshirts for a hike on the Muir Woods Trail, a relatively short loop just under 1.5 miles long. I came upon the Bootjack Trail Loop which adds another 5 miles to the Muir Wood Trail winding up and into the deeper canopy of the mountain forest. I told the others I'd meet them at the parking lot after completing the extra loop. I had my phone and carried my digital camera taking pictures of anything that caught my interest.
I'd seen only a handful of other people on this portion of the trail. When nearing, what I believed to be, the top of the mountain I came upon a child standing on the trail. It was a boy around 2 years old. He seemed to have popped up from nowhere. It stopped me dead in my tracks. The boy was 10 yards away and did not seem scared or startled, he simply stood there. I was shocked. I quickly surveyed the immediate area looking for someone to whom this child belonged but there was none. We were completely alone. Along with the feeling of complete bewilderment, I felt torn. Part of me wanted to pick the kid up and the other part of me was terrified to touch him.
I started to talk to the child, asking, "Are you okay?" "Where's your mom and dad?" The child answered with a single word that I did not recognize and continued to repeat that word. I thought maybe he was saying Papa, but that was not it. It was more like he was calling me by this name. I was trying to determine where the child belonged or came from. I noticed what looked like a game trail in the ground cover below me heading up a rather steep hill to my left. The incline seems hardly possible for a child of this age to have navigated, but the area above seems open. So I climbed up to see what seemed like a campsite roughly 30 to 50 yards away. There's a guy who looks like he's packing stuff into his car. At this point, things become blurry in my memory.
I'd have never left this child alone or left them with some random person unless I was very sure they belonged together. Yet, after this, all I remember is getting back on the trail and feeling like I had just dodged a bullet. I'd walked maybe 100 yards past where this all happened and it hit me hard how weird the whole episode was. I turned around to go back to the campsite to figure it out and start to see other people milling around other campsites. But the camp where the guy was is completely empty. No kid, no guy, no car!
I get this urgent feeling like I've been gone a long time and my wife is going to start to worry about me so I start heading back down the trail at a hurried pace. In my mind, I feel like I need to get back as soon as possible. In retrospect, here are a few things I cannot explain. I don't remember trying to use my phone. Maybe I didn't have any service. I don't know why I didn't use my camera, it was in my hand. I can't remember what the kid looked like or the father. I can't remember delivering the child to the person I thought was the parent or any verbal interaction between us. I tend to be overprotective and cannot imagine that I would not have read this guy up one side and down the other for letting this happen.
Looking back on my phone I had eight photos starting from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. On my digital camera, I have photos of various trees and scenery from the trail beginning at 9:30 and the last one at the trail. Using Google Earth I can clearly see that I took a photo at 11:37 a.m. about 100 yards before seeing this child. Then I took another photo at 11:48 a.m. 11 minutes later about 150 yards past where I saw the child. So I cannot remember roughly 11 minutes of the time that I spent with this child in the forest.
I relay this experience to you because I feel like it means something. I want to know if that sounds familiar to anyone else. I want to emphasize that after the encounter I do not feel like I just saved some unfortunate child who might be lost in the forest. I felt like I escaped somehow."
