Something else, I've heard hikers before say it, the further from the parking lot you get, the less danger you'll find.

Just wondering what the stats on that are, as we have heard more about hiking deaths in the last couple of years it seems like.

I still think you have a higher chance of getting struck by lightening.

But me and my g/f did run into two kids who where trying to break into cars in the parking of White Oak in SNP here in Virginia.

I just imagine in my head, that most criminals since they want to escape don't venture miles deep into trails, then again, I've heard people tell stories of pot growers and stuff......

? It is a real shame about what happened to this poor girl though. This is why its not safe to go alone.

Just last weekend, me and my g/f did a hike locally on a 10 mile stretch in First Landing, and we noticed like 6 single women alone, pass us on the trail. My g/f made the comment about how many women where out today, but I brought up how unsafe I felt that was.
