(San Luis Obispo Tribune) Three hikers from Morro Bay who found themselves stranded atop a rushing waterfall during a June outing turned to a tried-and-true method to call for help: a message in a bottle.
And it worked, Curtis Whitson said, in a tale that “only happens in Hollywood.”
Whitson, 44, his 33-year-old girlfriend Krystal Ramirez, and his 13-year-old son, Hunter, had already been out for two days, lugging 50-pound backpacks in a hiking and tubing river adventure that began at a campground near the community of Gonzalez, about 100 miles north of Morro Bay.
