[quote]This is the worst experience of trails for solo.[/quote] Get a cute puppy, put it on a leash and hit the trails again. Make sure you do it on a nice, sunny day when it's about 70 degrees. People love puppies, you will meet some fun people in the process and have good conversations. Who knows, you might create some life long friendships with some of them and have enjoyable experiences that you'll tell your grandkids about. Get back out on those trails!
