How true! I met 9 of them on my last outing.
Yep, and I like them all.
Yup, I've met a few of them too. Then there's the dreaded Rambler, I'm not sure if you have them in the U.S or whether they're peculiar to Britain. They wander the countryside in large flocks, have an inflated idea that they own the place and take up the whole path and NEVER give way. They even have their own website!
Recession; A period when you go without something your Grandparents never heard of.
Isn't that so and would you want to know which category people are putting you in.
There'll have to be a new category created just for me & Mr. B. Can't see myself in any of the 10 above.
You forgot the "mooch", the "Hey, Ya got any water left?" or "I left my knife back there some where. ......do you have one?"

Tracks Across the High Plains...Death on the Bombay Line...A Touch of Death and Mayhem...Dead Rock...The Griswald Mine Boys...All On Amazon Books.
you guys are hiking in the wrong areas....I never see anyone where I like to go hike!
The way of the canoe is the way of the wilderness and of a freedom almost forgotten- Sigurd Olson
Give me winter, give me dogs... you can keep the rest- Knud Rasmussen
I never encounter other hikers. But the lady with the puppy looks HOT.
Despite all the times i've gone hiking, I still haven't seen a drunken David Hasselhoff.
There are combinations too!
Like the drunk in charge of the cub scouts, The awkward couple where the girl is terrified and the guy looks like the jailbreaker. And above all, the hardcore hot chick backpacker with the out of shape old man.(she's trying to hike him to death for his money)
If you didn't bring jerky what did I just eat?
I normally don't encounter many (if any) people any more when I hike (day hikes mostly now), but over the years that seems to be a fairly accurate list.
One of the places i hike often is a major tourist destination (muir woods, old growth redwood forest), and going through there takes forever because of the "slow walking family" type. and then of course when you go to pass them, they see you speeding up, so they speed up too. lol
A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.
