I did a short day again today. I had a real campground about 17 miles away from Grants so I decided to stay there instead of camping on the side of the road today. It was a pretty secluded spot and I was the only one there until about 7:30. This for ranger pulled up and it seemed a little unsure of where to go. I watched it back into a spot, sit there for a little bit, then back into another one and do the same thing. In the meantime I found a little overlook that was pretty cool. It looked over this wilderness/desert and you could see for a really long ways. So I was sitting there having a moment of zen and I heard this person humming and it was coming closer. I was sitting behind a tree so I figured he/she didn't know anybody was there. I decided to say something so the person didn't do something drastic. So I started, " I don't..AHHHHH... want to surprise you." I guess I really freaked out this older lady. She apologized for intruding, but I felt pretty bad for scaring her so bad.
I guess it's nice to know that you aren't the only one who feels a little jumpy in secluded campgrounds. Poor lady probably almost had a heart attack.
