Yep, a couple years ago I was hiking in Las Vegas in the desert on a trail a hiking trail but usually when I go hiking I go like at 10 o 'clock in the morning on a Tuesday when everybody's at work and everybody's at school well anyway I was hiking down the trail and it's the desert you're all alone and you know it's it's beautiful but at the same time you are all alone and as I'm hiking down the trail suddenly I realized that I was being watched by about, I don't know, four or five guys.
Yeah and then they started to come down, they were up kind of above me and then they started to come down and they didn't look like hikers.
Yeah. They looked like trouble.
No, seriously. I was actually pretty scared and I checked my phone.
Of course in the middle of the desert there is no phone reception.
I was far away from everything so I came as anyway, I kept hiking and Eventually.
I lost the guys they couldn't I didn't see them And I started to relax.
I had some water so I ended up drinking water, and I just waited for about an hour Yeah, I just waited in the shade for about an hour And then I started to go back and I was nervous the whole time And I never saw the guys, but I swear to God I thought those guys were thinking of jumping me of Stopping me taking my money and running.
