Subject: hiking alone


I am a 59 yr old woman and I have no hiking buddies where I live. My husband
hates when I hike alone and I've gotten myself in trouble a few times. I
"met" Jim and Ginny Owens on this list. Her way of expressing the issue of a
woman hiking alone is one I've never forgotten and expresses my feelings
exactly. The following is kept in my 'theme' book of favorite sayings,
quotes, etc.
 
"...there are times that the only way you can do something is alone - that
waiting on the convenience of other's means that a lot opportunities will
pass you by. For me it was a matter of if I don't go alone I don't go. And
that wasn't acceptable."
 
are we there yet
