That's scary T M F, you should bring a "little friend" with you from now on while out and about. I wonder if the reason the guy wore a mask is because he would have been recognized?

They caught the guy. He was a recent parolee, a sexual offender living in a local half-way house after serving a 20 year sentence. He escaped from the halfway house last Wednesday and was camping in the canyon about 1/4 mile from my house. He was apparently waiting for a female hiker to come along.
It totally creeps me out to know I must have walked within a couple hundred feet of his camp the previous morning, alone on the trail. Well, I won't be "alone" any more.
