Hey sorry about the sudden rush of emails but i must tell you this. Today i went for my first hike i procrastinated so much coz i was so scared about seeing a bear or a cougar. I read a magazine and waited for about an hour before i worked up the courage to go, i went by myself which i was so so so scared about, anyway i read up on cougars and bears and i was making noise the whole way along the track, bangin rocks together etc, throwing them in the distance to scare away anything, praying and doing everything i could. I got about 40 minutes in a stopped for a breather something kinda said go back now and i thought stuff it...i was halfway up the mountain and my pride was going to stop me, just after that i banged some rocks together and heard a noise about 50 meters up the hill i was headed, i turned and looked and i saw the backside of a cougar walking away...needless to say i was packion myself, i backed away about one or two steps then i bolted, i picked up rocks on the way and threw them everywhere coz someone told me they stalk you from the side, Anyway i took only about 5 minutes to get back. Everyone here was so excited..cougar sightings are like shark sightings in aus, rare as. Anyway i am very pleased i saw one and God looked after me. I wish i had have looked a bit longer and seen its face tho. Dang. But i kept myself safe just like mother dear told me to. I am still out of breath and i must say i will be going hiking in a group from now on...maybe a group that owns guns...
Well hope all you guys are keeping safe, see ya
