Sometimes I like to go out and run the trails that are near my house. It's nice, I usually go in the morning when no one is on the trail and typically it's a quiet pleasing trip through the woods. This morning while I was out I came around a corner and scared the crapola out of two gals who were coming up the trail the opposite direction. Like, they did the whole jump and yell thing and to be fair I could understand. It was a blind corner and by the time they saw me I was basically right on top of them, just some dude wearing a black sweatshirt with the hood up breathing heavily and running. I laugh a little and wave hi as I go to pass them. Then for some reason one of the women, apologizing for yelling, says "Sorry but we're all alone out here."

As I continued on I get to thinking, well yeah, of course you're all alone out here, we all are. Then I start to realize that if indeed I was some kind of crazy woods murderer running down the trail looking to sate the voice in my head chanting KILL KILL KILL then wouldn't telling me that they were all alone be a silly thing to do? Like, if someone was actually predatoring around the forest why in sweet gently caress would you tell them you are all alone. I mean, it seems like it'd make more sense to tell someone that you are part of a larger group or something. I don't know. Maybe like imply that you have a gun or something?

Discuss.

Now you know why there are hundreds of missing people in the national park system.

I run a trail that's a service route for a couple of antenna sites, and it's also in national forest territory so you can camp anywhere for a limited number of days. There's a dude out there who stealth camps, complete with a camo net over his site so you can't really see him unless you're trying hard. Cool dude though, he just wants to be left alone.

I believe that you have a totally fine grasp on this situation and stuff, but I was trying to think of something funny to say, only to think about the situation as:

"Goon proceeds to find hidden campsite off main trail. Bothers occupant frequently enough to find out the details of just how it's hidden and that the man just, please, wants to be left alone. Just..leave him alone. The campsite was hidden and everything and.."

I've wondered about carrying for safety's sake, but my luck I'd still get eaten by a mountain lion or bear.

Also, all the folks I see in the back country are chill and I put off enough of a serial killer vibe that they leave me alone anyways.

Good points, but I'd passed his camp a few times over as many weeks and one day I saw him out tending to his plants(he had some succulents in flower pots) so we talked briefly and he asked if I needed some water. He'd probably seem me running by the other times, and knew I was just out there to run.

I'd like to think I have enough of a sense about people to know when bad stuff is about to happen, but truth be told the two times I thought I had people figured out I was way off. The first time, there were some guys who looked like hardened thugs that were hanging out a local abandoned mine. Turns out they were just chilling and offered me a beer.

The second time, I was out climbing in the hills above Santa Barbara. There were some preppy kids who looked about college age and they were driving a newer car. They hung out and watched me and a friend do some boudlering(climbing without ropes) and then they left. We found out a few months later that the trio had just dumped a body down the road from us.

Oh, shows how naive I am, sheesh. I wasn't even considering it being a potentially threatening situation to you. I just meant you were pestering the hell out of some dude who was trying very politely to tell you to gently caress off from his hidden campsite and you kept finding him and coming back like a stray dog every few days "..hey Mister! :D"

If anything I figured he'd be out there growing weed in the park and tell you to get lost in a hurry.

I went for a run today at a nearby park that people use to walk a ton of dogs at. One person had a new puppy and it ran up to me as I was running so I stopped and gave it a little pat because it was so excited to see me.

Put a smile on my face for the rest of the run!

I've been biking a little bit because I've never been a good runner. I hosed up my joints and back as a kid and running has never been comfortable or fun for me, but I started riding my bike again a bit and that's cool.
I have a lot of room to do it because I live a little bit out in the country kinda but I usually only go a few miles and the thought of being one of those 'bike guys' that's like "OH YA LOL I DROPPED 45 MILES THURSDAY BRO LMAO" or whatever on their 10oz carbon fiber bike in their all lycra suit or what have you freaks me out. Like I just like to go for like 4-5 mile jaunts on it for the hell of it with nowhere to actually go.

It was this dude and a couple of his friends. There was a girl in there too, but she mostly just stood by their car while we were climbing around on the rocks. As I said before, I'm really bad at reading people. This guy and his crew looked like rich college kids, not drug dealers who'd just kidnapped and murdered a guy. They saw my friend and I climbing and they stopped to talk with us. They were probably trying to feel out if we suspected them of anything, but we were oblivious to it. We talked for about a half hour, and they didn't seem nervous or anything which was even scarier in retrospect.

Awhile afterwards, I saw the guy on local news and freaked out and called my friend. Apparently, the guy was some kind of club promoter down in Brazil while he was on the run so that explains the preppy EDM bro vibe I got from him.

It's easy to not be one of those guys, just don't get the outfit. 4-5 miles is a pretty good bike ride if you're pushing yourself hard most of the time, or at least going in sprint-rest intervals.
