I had some sunglasses and batteries stolen from my car at a canoe put-in here once, but that's the only trouble I've ever had. While camping, I've left my gear and went day hiking a lot of times and no one has ever messed with my stuff.

This last Winter I left my base camp at the bottom of a hollow one morning and hiked up the mountain on the other side of the creekbed. When I got near the top I could look back down and see my gear there, but later in the day, as the sun shifted, I couldn't see it anymore and I got kind of nervous about it and headed back early. I shouldn't have, everything was untouched when I got back.

I knew it would be, but I've done that sort of thing before and always kick myself for it when I do.
