Hi,

I'm wondering if you've ever run into any weird people while hiking in the mountains? It's happened to me a couple of times already that I met someone who made me feel really bad. Some examples:

- From afar I see someone standing by the path, when I go past him and greet (of course he doesn't greet back), the guy goes without a word right behind me, so close I almost feel his breath on my neck. Luckily I can go very fast too, so I shake him off after about 100m. All that time I felt really uncomfortable.
- Recently someone in military pants: similar situation, guy stares weirdly, doesn't say anything, when I get close to him he comes toward me, then a few steps behind me, and stops.
- Some time ago: I meet a guy just with an axe in hand, nobody around, has nothing else on him at around 1400m height, in the forest. Doesn't greet back either and just stares at me. Didn't look like he was cleaning or tidying up anything.

Don't know how a woman would feel going alone like that into the mountains, but even I felt pretty tense. And physically I'm not exactly weak, but if someone follows right behind you wordlessly, you start thinking what if ...

Any similar experiences?

Jaz, don't provoke! Just looked at the pic, here, kilo up.

There are also lots of squirrels. At least it seems so to me.
