Glad these ladies were okay and able to protect themselves. Good outcome considering what could have happened.

Scary, I agree. Good thing those ladies defended themselves.
Remember every one, always fight back no matter what. Make as much noise as possible.

I hope he gets caught before I get out there!
(ButterflySis and Rhonda, too. Be extra careful, ladies.)

That is what I was thinking, Dixie. Everyone take care out there. Trekking poles, hiking poles, whatever you have, will be a great thing to have. I hope they catch him soon.

Well, at least he was outside the park. I feel somewhat safer in a national park than I would in a national forest since any nutjob can wander into them for free. I will always have my trekking poles, and I'm taking a hiking pole for Jen, and she'll have her tripod. I also have some tear gas for both of us. (And we may pack a little more heat than that.)

What a horrible thing to happen! I'm glad both women are OK. Makes me think about what precautions I will take if/when I hike alone.

Yea, Kristin, be careful! Do you have a whistle or mace, or something?
I think Rhonda and I will be okay. I'll beat the crap out of him with my tripod and then Rhonda will shoot him. He'll be sorry. LOL
