Not really! Unfortunately, some part of our country (as well as some places abroad) are becoming dangerous. Especially areas near large metropolitan areas. The Seattle/Tacoma area used to be so pleasant to explore but not anymore. And I'm talking about many recent cases with innocent people minding their own business have been accosted, attacked or threatened and robbed in shopping areas, parks, and on trails in recent months. The same was true in and near San Francisco (especially at the bottom of zig zag of Lombard street) where cameras have been snatched off the shoulders of unsuspecting tourists. True- not every one with a camera or a purse gets attacked, but an unacceptably large number do. It's not always "imagination."

Yes, its disappointing. Being alone, I sometimes arrive at a site, check the surroundings, and decide not to unload the camera gear.
I will say though, that deep into the forest in Oregon I was about to get some waterfall shots when a pickup with four individuals pulled up. One of them walked directly towards me. they saw my camera gear and wanted advice on the best way to stop the water with their camera.
Stranger still -- the four of them turned out to be Catholic Priests from my hometown of South Bend, Ind.

Well, Tracy, I just looked and since I'm now in Roseburg, Oregon, we're 2,271 miles apart according to Google Maps.
But if you're ever out this way ....

It's hard to figure out who you're referring to when you don't hit "quote reply". Who's sick so that maybe we can agree or disagree?

Zen won’t help when two guys are beating the shit out of you to steal your stuff! Unless, of course, Zen is the name of the only guy in the crowd willing to offer any help. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤬

Once you start down the dark path of fear, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will. Sad. Look what you've become, right there in writing, just above.

Too bad there weren't a couple of other guys handy to deal with the scum. Smith and Wesson. Colt and Ruger. Glock and Beretta. Be nice to be rid of trash like that.
