Often I get out on a hike alone. There are many reasons for this, one being if I waited to find a hiking partner every time I wouldn’t be able to write a weekly hiking column.
Often, I consider my energy, the weather and conditions the morning of a hike, and don’t have time to go looking for a partner. However, I have always had dependable people to spot me, whom I give my itinerary and time frame, and whom I contact on my return.
