>>317105I know someone whose mom was out hiking some sage trail with her biggish derpy dog. A man in a truck came up on her while she was walking and he pulled a gun on her.
"What are you doing here?" sorts of questions he did ask, and lucky for her the male escort she was with came over the hill, and the two men bullshitted each other, and the truck driver drove off. Then she cried a little, said she was just held at gunpoint, and her male escort (husband) was surprised.
This happened in the dry, dusty butthole that is Eastern Washington.
Aside from the crusty oldies, the spics take some of the more popular trails with their large familia, and my party has personally happened upon at least two woods-schizos. With how bad mental health care is and the colorful characters you can see on the streets, it's not surprising some of them take to the woods.
A few outings ago, my party found a small trail off a logging road into a small clearing with some felled logs and a 5-ish foot long metal pipe with two sets of rusted chains, one drilled a few inches in from each end. Looked like hillbilly backwoods bondage. On top of that, as soon as we got out of the car, we smelled a really funky rotten smell we think was a bear, so we yelled insults at the bear and threw rocks. We did not notice the smell again. The woods are spoopy, even armed.
