@elaterite Yes, especially during the winter, I worry about the big cats. I have several friends who refuse to use trekking poles, because they think poles are for old folks, and then I tell them about the fighting chances they'd have if they had the poles... hahaha

@elaterite I hiked there once last year, but no one was there and was too quiet... Strange that I'm fine being totally alone on my favorite trails, but in unfamiliar places I get so creeped out

@elaterite I'll have to look for them next time I'm out there!
