    @cbs4denver is reporting that "Larimer County authorities are looking for the man who attacked two hikers near Rocky Mountain National Park."

    Anyone heard anything about this?

    Scary, I agree. Good thing those ladies defended themselves.

    Remember every one, always fight back no matter what. Make as much noise as possible.

    You better believe I am going to do more than fight back with a stick. The cops would only need a body bag.:rocket-man: He had a definite motive Denver Post Article
    It was right outside the NE border of RMNP.

    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.) :whistle:

    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
