While hiking on a somewhat remote trail 3 days ago, I saw something that astonished me. A young man (30ish) passed me going the opposite direction, wearing and carrying absolutely nothing, not even a fig leaf (except sneakers, I think).
When I first saw him, I did a double-take, and had to stare for several seconds to comprehend what I was seeing. Then my eyes became frozen, paralyzed looking past him to the trail ahead. I could not force myself to look at him again.
He was just a regular looking guy, and casually said hello as we passed. In 10 seconds, the whole encounter was over, but I still can't comprehend the whole thing. Can anyone explain this to me?
The trail was about 5 miles long, with 1 road crossing in the middle. At one end was a state park, with a dozen or so parked cars. At the other end was a remote parking area. I was walking toward the remote end. There were no cars parked at the road crossing, or the remote parking lot.
Please help. Thanks
