Another Adventure in the woods

Went again today to Mt. Charleston to venture out and see what there was to see. Only this time, it is Monday and NO ONE was there. I hiked for about 45minutes without hearing a peep from another human being. Normally I would think that that was the ideal way to hike however, my mother, sister, and a few of my friends have got me thinking. Since I went on my last adventure hiking alone everyone has expressed concern over me getting killed or eaten by mountain lions. On my first hike, there were so many people on the trail that it wasn't really a concern. This time hiking uphill higher and higher without another soul in sight I started picturing a large cat charging at me and all the possible option to get away from them. This did not make my hike pleasant. I kept trying to calm down but couldn't. Eventually I turned around and started back down the hill. Overall, my hike was awesome and I took some pretty pictures. :) Not to mention no sign of any large cats.
