(April 26) -- On a remote wooded path in North Carolina on Friday, a 65-year-old woman took a solitary hike. Little did she know she'd meet President Barack Obama and the first lady along the way.
The chance encounter happened when Westerville, Ohio, resident Karen Russell was hiking the Mountains-to-Sea Trail just off the Blue Ridge Parkway, Asheville's Citizen-Times newspaper reported.
"It was just a little nondescript trail that I was on," Russell told the Citizen-Times, "and I didn't expect to find anybody there really, let alone the president."
The Obamas had landed in Asheville that same day to catch a weekend vacation. The presidential motorcade had driven the Blue Ridge Parkway for about 15 minutes when the first couple decided to get out and take an hourlong hike.
Russell, who had also come to North Carolina on vacation, had already been on her trail for an hour when she noticed the cars on the parkway below. Then, in the middle of the forest, two Secret Service agents approached her.

There, fixed it.
Thank God AOL is covering this! It’s SUCH important news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a nightmare! I’d rather run into Jason from Friday the 13th. At least then I’d have a chance to survive.
...... chance encounter ,,,, right
I would have been speechless!....but uttered FUBO anyway!
Hopefully, she’ll get back to her senses in 2012. Not gonna hold my breadth though.
Ah, beat me by seconds.
If my secretary hadn’t have come in . . .
“Do you mind if we check you with a metal detector?” LOL! I wonder what happens when you tell them to buzz off.
Looks like a typical liberal school teacher.
Yeah, I have my doubts about the “chance encounter” part, too.
What a coincidence she just happened to be someone who voted and organized for him?
LOL!!!
Crap. All I wanted was a nice quiet hike and I meet this A$$hole.

I’d have been po’d had I run into him while out in the wilderness, with as much tv exposure he gets. Like you can’t get away from him.
Fortunately for me, my chauffeur had just left and the maid needed to return to the kitchen for something.
A good walk spoilt.
