So yesterday I went out for a nice, quiet hike… We all remember how well that went LAST time! 
Turns out my trailhead is closed till next weekend, and I was a goober and didn’t check before hand. So i was turning around, and there is one tiny, tiny shack of a restaurant along this stretch of highway, the only thing for 60 miles in both directions, and I stop there for a break. As I come in the door, I quite literally bump into two of the SAR Dudes from a month ago, who are talking about me at that exact moment.
“So, it was great seeing Tigerlilly at the last meeting, yeah?”
“Yeah, she’s great. What an incredible… HEY! Tigerlilly!!”

We chatted for a bit, then they invited me to hang out on mountain rescue patrol with them, which involved hanging out at the SWAT/SAR teams helicopter base camp, assisting with a load n’ go, cavorting off roading, and watching awesome helmet cam footage of rescues and extractions. This “secret base camp” is totally at the top of the mountain range around here, perfect, beautiful views everywhere. It’s a dilapidated missile launch site from WW2/Cold War, but has state of the art electronics, a fuck-off big satellite receiver dish, and the sweetest, baddest, biggest, outdoor grill ever. They know their priorities up there. 
I wasn’t wearing anything for the hike, but slapped on some pheros quick like going up there. IS/A (these guys love it, apparently), P86 to mute the TAL vibe somewhat, and Cops, covered with vanilla lotion.
It was hotter than hades up there, so I was seriously venting. I smelled like musk-vanilla, which actually worked well. No comments about smell, and lots of people being physically close to me.
Had a great time. Several DIHL looks, though that might have been situation based as well… how often does a daisy duke wearing young woman stroll into their Manly Man Secret Base Camp, especially wearing IS/a and Cops!? 
Afterwards, i went on a quick hike down a short little creek i wanted to explore some more.
NEVER wear Cops out in the wild!!
I thought I was in a Disney movie - I had all the furry creatures of the forest coming out of the (literal) woodwork to see/smell me. I swear, i thought I saw a fish poke their head out of the river. I’ve never seen so many damn squirrels in my life, and I’ve seen the Central Park species of squirrel.
Holy Shit - I scampered, afraid that the bears and mountain lions were soon to come. I already had a herd of squirrels, a couple foxes, and some other unidentified furry-ness.
But a very fun day.
