Surprise Encounter

A hiked a ways with me and then turned around when I saw Death Wish and Fre (he had to make it back to his car by that night). I hiked by myself all day and only had lunch at the same lake as Death Wish. I ate dinner at a lake where a lot of other hikers were settling down for the evening. I kept going for a little bit more and met a south bounder who informed be about some nice camping spots further along the trail. I solo camped and for the first time I felt really alone because I knew there was no one coming behind me and there was most likely no one in front of me for a hill or two. The wind also made some weird sounds in the trees surrounding my tent so that was not helpful to ease my restless mind.
