It is a small world...

Back in 2012 I climbed up a hill and took this pic.



Then wandered away and took a piss. Then wandered further and found the Appellation Trail.  A few minutes later a hiker appeared, she seemed startled to see me then saw all of the cars as well as other people and we chatted for a couple of minutes. She told me she was on some practice hikes and was going to hike the entire length of the trail soon. She lived locally, I remember her telling me that.

She was a leathery older woman, in her 60's and I remember one of my friends pondering if she was packing heat.

I am about 90% sure this was her. Sad.

That's a wicked sad story.  Maine sucks.   :(
