How many long distance female hikers have stayed at a shelter with a freaky person?
And if you have, what did you do? Did you pack up and move on? Or did you just weather it out?
I have an upcoming section hike where I will be out on my own for about 6 nights staying at shelters. True, I will be in my tent but I suppose someone could jump on top of my tentand stab me to death if they were smart enough to think about it.
A few weeks ago I did an overnighter on Springer and there was some freaky dude who wanted to talk about nothing but Gary Hilton, but i figured he was harmless and I was right.
I guess I'm just curious to know other womens stories. I'm truly starting to get frazzled planning my hike. As soon as I think I got it down, I have people starting up with the negativity and the what ifs. I can't even think and now its not even sounding like fun!
