Yes, I go alone... walked for quite awhile along and in that creek. It was really nice. No bears. I did see a fox today, and lizards and frogs, butterflies (wouldn't hold still for pictures though) and a roadrunner and some little grouse.
I imagine if I went to these isolated sites with some of the guys I know, I would have to be another kind of careful. *L*

Look at that little devil..
I wonder if I went out in the woods alone...................
Nahhhhhhhhhh...
little grouse = quail, here in TX.
Nice white meat, much like chicken.
