Duffman's interesting afternoon hike

[Duffman]

So I've been going on daily hikes for a couple months now, trying to get in some other shape than round. I alternate in between 3 and 5 miles every other day, you could call it a walk cause it's on a paved trail, but I wear hiking boots and it goes thru woods and around a sleugh/lake in the south metro, so I call it a hike.

So the sun is low on the horizon and right in my eyes yesterday afternoon, and about 50 yds ahead of me something crosses the trail and heads down towards the sleugh. Now I know I'm not going full on crazy just yet in my life, but that was either Sasquatch or a dude in a full Ghillie Suit. So I round the corner on the trail approaching where this thing left the trail, and notice a couple of kids (10-12 yrs old) another 50 yds down the trail and they keep looking back over thier shoulders at me. So my mind is trying to process what exactly is going on, when I now notice the guy in the Ghillie suit is coming out of the willows on a track to intercept me in another twenty feet or so.

I'm rocking out to QOTSA's "You Think I Ain't Worth A Dollar, But I Feel Like A Millionaire" on the headphones, so I'm sorta pumped up and feel some adrenaline start flowing because the two of us are on a collision course in about 10 seconds, my fist starts to form naturally when I notice this person isn't all that big and has a child like gait. I'm pretty sure he didn't see me while wearing the full mask until we were only 5 feet apart. And then he stopped dead in his tracks.

I figured it was a kid trying out his new suit that he probably got for Christmas, but he sure doesn't know how close he came to getting the side of his head caved in. I smiled at him, shook my head and continued on down the trail thinking...."Man, I wish I had a Ghillie suit when I was his age"

It was an interesting hike. Remind me to tell you about the racoon who thought he could hide from me by putting his paws over his eyes on another daily hike.
