View Full Version : Why doesn't this ever happen to me?
From Garlic's July 9 Trailjournal entry:
"I made two wildlife sightings today, a moose and a bare. Yes, a bare, not a bear. First the moose. A young bull in full velvet turned and ran up the trail right in front of me. But he left his cloud of flies to join my cloud of flies. His was bigger.
Then, as I approached the Spaulding Mountain Lean-to, I could just glimpse a naked woman, fully frontal. I made some noise, something like a gasp, and stayed in the woods as she dressed. She was sitting on an air mattress and her trailname was "Quickie". I'm not making this up, I couldn't if I tried.
I'm not sure why a woman would a) sit naked on a public trail, and b) use "Quickie" as a trail name. It would be like a guy naming himself "Foreplay". Now that would be a meeting I would like to see.
After Quickie, we had a lot more energy (we had to get out of there fast!) today's climbs of Spaulding and Crocker went very well. We had more water and had a rain shower, and that helped (it was hot and humid again today). Our original plan did not include going all the way to town, but the hiking went so well we made it easily. But we did get hammered by a very heavy rain storm as we approached the road. We were lucky to get a hitch as easily as we did (leased vehicle)."

Which part John, the Moose sighting, the quick hitch to town, or the naked hiker named Quickie?

Many guys wish they would come across a naked hiker-babe. Then when it happens, they wish it hadn't. Happened to me recently. Wish it hadn't. :(

Why would you "have to get out of there fast"? The one time I've seen a woman exposed actually on a hiking trail was in when sectioning in 2005 in Georgia, and came around a bend to unintentionally surprise a woman urinating a few feet from the Trail. I stopped, turned the other way, and waited til she had had enough time to cover up. I then went on my way, looking at her again only enough to exchange brief sheepish smiles.
All but forgotten about within 15 minutes, not affecting the rest of my hiking day at all.

Short story you might enjoy.
My buddy Brad had paddled probably 5000 miles of North Canada waterways and always made that same statement..."I never run into a naked woman."
Finally after all of those years of paddling he had 2 absolutely beautiful 20 something Swedish women paddle into his camp lost wearing nothing but thongs.........on his honeymoon!

I spent a night at the first shelter south of Dicks Creek Gap (Deep Gap??) and met a guy who had hiked in with his wife from Springer. Hiking out of Unicoi Gap, he came across a group of young college women sun tanning naked right off the trail. I said to them, "yeah, but usually those are the folks that should keep their clothes on." Simultaneously, they both should their heads and said, "oh, no." Even the wife thought they were hot. :)

Thats funny.
On my thru my wife met me in SNP and hiked with me for 50 miles.
It was, of course, during this time that we passed two cuties having a picnic in the park. Topless.
I put some naked woman bells on my backpack I've never had a problem.

No mute button?
My humour was meant to be kinda subtle there.
Yeah I'm bumping into them all the time up here. :rolleyes:
I think L.Wolf was right.
There is really no safe way to go here. LOL

Too often, its the people who absolutely should not go unclothed who do.

I once heard about a hunter who came upon a naked woman in the woods while tracking a deer. He asked her if she was "game" ...to which she replied "yes" ...so he shot her !

At work I was talking to a town manager who wanted some work done on an old concrete water tank. He said while we were designing a patch to the concrete we should do something for safer more secure stairs onto the tank. I said: "Have you ever had any particular security issues? There isn't any graffiti at all on here." He said: "Well, we had one of the neighborhood girls who used to come up here sunbathing." I said: "So you need a security camera video monitoring system connected to town hall then?" :)

She's mounted above my mantle, had the nicest rack out of anything that I'd seen all season, too bad...
When I hiked the Long Trail with Liteshoe, I ran into a naked naturally blond girl at Jay Peak. I never mentioned it to my wife. Jan included it in the book she wrote. My wife read the book :banana :banana :banana

I agree totally with you there Gumbi.
Living here in Phuket, the beaches are topless if you so desire.
There really oughta be an age limit to this freedom.
(I'm not much into the European guys wearing thongs either)
