The heart racing when you're solo is crazy. What can go on in your head! The panic. Ugh. I was bagging Crane Mountain in SE Oregon in mid-April. It was a multi-day solo trip with lots of snow. In returning from the summit, I was hiking back over tracks I had made a few hours earlier. A bear track was right next to mine. I never realized just how fast I could snowshoe.
