Why do you go to the mountains?

[ivan]

b/c i lost my weed there...somewhere...

[TeJay]

because I like to torture myself, feel the pain, and suffer

[denalidave]

To fall down.

[Sherri]

For the booty. And the gear I find.

I think that Mohammad answered this question adequately long ago. He said, "if the mountain will not come to Mohammad, then Mohammad must go to the mountain".

i go to the mountains becuase it makes me feel more alive than anything else. because i always with out fail find my 'whatever' when i am there. it always slips away again so i have to go back and find it. it's like breathing.

[archenemy]

I go because I hope I'll run into Darius and her fashion sense.

[pink]

I once sat on a prominent rock on the point of a ridge and gazed out over the valley in awe and wonder.

I looked down between my feet and there was a carmex jar. I opened it to find a nice little bud.

Ever since then, I have gone to the mountains to find Carmex jars.

She did mention something about there being stalkers out there.

[Dechristo]

Stalk stalkers?

[Frikadeller]

I go to the Mountains to stalk the hikers....

 

 

It's fun! Appear out of "nowhere!" And scare the shit out of them...

 

I think it's a "total" gas!! LOL!

[Sherri]

 

... But you have to admit, its more difficult for a solo female, because they have to worry about SO many more safety issues with so many freaks and weirdos stalking around waiting to take advantage of you and then kill you.

 

Damn alpine stalkers. There goes the neighborhood.

you know the city is so much safer for a single a girl than the mountains.

[Jeff W]

Personally, I go to the mountains to scare the shit out myself. Nothing quite like walking up on what you first think is a grizzly bear, but then realizing it's only a bull moose that you just startled...

[mattp]

A lot of women worry about being outside alone. Ever notice how many women there are on the Snow Lake trail, or Mt. Pilchuck? They feel safer with the constant traffic that reminds them of walking around Greenlake.

[Sherri]

Fear is a self-fulfilling prophecy.

[snugtop]

They feel safer with the constant traffic that reminds them of walking around Greenlake.

 

That sounds pretty snarky, Matt. Since you mention Pilchuck, wasn't it two women who were murdered there last year? I'd venture to guess that women are assauted 100% more than men outdoors, particularly women alone. I'm just reading a book, Strange Piece of Paradise, about two girls cycling across the US in '77 who were attacked by an axe-weilding maniac in their tent as they slept (miraculously, they survived) in a state park near Bend, OR. The author actually does some research and, sadly, her attack--while sensational--is not that unusual for women in parks and secluded areas.
