DUDE! I am freaking out right now! I just realized that it really is a dude! Check this out! I started at Lake street and took this pic after hiking 20 minutes up the Sam Merill Trail. She He was going down. I asked if I could take a pic and she posed and off I went.
My hike took about 3 hours. When I got back to the gate there was this old dude standing there. He was standing at the single parking space right next to the gate. He quickly walked over to me and started to talk to me. Very friendly.
Saying that he remembered me hiking fast up the trail. I didn't remember him so I didn't think much of it. DUDE IT WAS HIM! THIS GUY WAITED FOR 2 HOURS AND 40 MINUTES FOR ME TO COME DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!! I AM FREAKING OUT!!!!!!
Maybe he thought I was attracted to him because I took this pic!
He was putting on some tennis shoes and said he was going to go back up and hike to Echo Mountain again! I think he just changed his clothes. I'm gonna barf...
