Now that it's spring, I'll be hiking 1-2 times per week, weather permitting.

I just read the spark article on HIKING.

there is something CREEPY about being along on a trail. I feel like I'm getting stalked at times by a crazy Tiger...

But my friends don't believe me. They just laugh. Ah Well! Paranoia will destroy ya!
