Hello friends.
Follow your Intuitions. If your gut tells you it's time to go. You got to go. Especially if your chilling somewhere alone. Your Guardian Angels are watching over you. Stay safe.
Crows are one of the most intelligent birds out there and they have a language that they use amongst themselves. They actually have funerals when one dies. They are beautiful not ugly!!!!! They warn people when danger is near.
Yep, this happened when the wife and I went to a hotel in Utopia, TX. We arrived in the early afternoon and looked around town, nice small town folks. We went back to the hotel after dinner. I went for a walk along the river, along the hotel grounds, to see the beautiful Cypress trees. When the sunlight began to fade away I went back to the room where my wife was getting ready to settle in. An eerie feeling immediately had come over the two of us. When I mentioned this, my wife just about burst into expletives, “YES, YES, YES”, she agreed. We tried to go to sleep. We talked and agreed to leave, even though we had paid for the night. By that time it was just after midnight. We quickly packed up and quietly started pulling out of the parking lot. The proprietor happened to be outside and hailed us for a question. As he questioned us, three other adults came out of his room/apartment. He asked several questions about why we were leaving. We made up some lame excuse and quickly left. Weird, weird, weird, what the hell was he doing outside that late? Why was he so very curious about why we were leaving? We had paid the bill. Why did several adults come out to join him as he yelled across the parking lot? We absolutely made the right decision and were glad to leave.
TBH, since you are out alone and seemingly unarmed, you have way too much stuff outside of your vehicle. You need to be able to leave quickly if necessity requires.
Crows are not ugly. They are beautiful and incredibly intelligent.
It could have been a mountain lion, it could have been a person. You did the right thing. ❤
Many yrs ago I was camping with my 12 yr old daughter in a remote area near Yosemite when we both suddenly felt like we needed to get the heck away and we left immediately. Several days later we heard that a mother, daughter and daughters friend had been murdered in Yosemite. Always trust your gut
I had a similar experience when visiting Petroglyph National Monument outside Albuquerque on a solo road trip through NM. After spending the night at a hotel, I had hiked way out in the park and had been studying the petroglyphs for an hour or so when I spotted a tall guy watching me from some distance away. There was no one else at the park. He realized I had seen him, then he saw me making a getaway to a different trail, he started walking fast and furious towards me. I diverted away but he followed. My hair was standing on end and could feel the evil vibes. Thankfully, a family of tourists with children arrived at the park and were walking in my direction so I waved and yelled hello and started hollering to them like I knew them, walking fast in their direction. The stalker stopped at a short distance from me, but was close enough I could see his psychopathic blank stare, realizing his prey had slipped away. I joined the family, speaking to them, then beat it back to my car and drove away while he watched me. I made tracks to Santa Fe, watching my rearview mirror all the way. Chilling experience.
It NEVER hurts to follow that gut feeling. The only thing it costs you is a little bit of gas.
Hi. I was on the road solo for 3 years camping across the Southwest. The feeling of “I need to get out of here” hit me at least 3 times over 3 years. I trusted my gut each time and left whether it meant packing up camp or not. It might have saved my life. Good job trusting yourself. ✌️🤘
A few years ago I had gone hiking with a group of friends in an isolated and somewhat overgrown nature reserve. There were miles of trails, some almost impassable so the going was slow. After an hour and a half we came to a very steep uphill climb and I decided to turn around and head back to my car. The rest of the women decided to continue for a while so I went back alone. I was fine going back alone since the sun was a few hours from setting. About a half a mile into my return I began to feel a sense of dread that I’ve never experienced while hiking. I was sure something or someone was following me although at first I didn’t hear anything. The longer I walked the more pronounced the feeling became, and I began hearing sounds of footsteps a few yards behind me in the tangled brush of the woods. It kept my pace and stopped when I stopped to look behind me. I saw nothing, but the overwhelming sensation that I needed to run took over. I ran faster than I have in years, stumbling and ripping up my arms and legs on denser parts of the trail. I finally saw some hikers coming toward me. I felt embarrassed but I told them what happened. They walked with me back to my car, but turned to go on the trail. I tried calling my friends but there
I am in awe of crows. They are so passionate and caring. So loyal and intelligent.
That feeling is a natrual instict that has allowed our species to thrive and stay alive. Your instincts will never fail you if you act upon them swiftly like you did here.
Having lived and travelled solo in my camper van for 2 1/2 years - if you're getting a bad vibe - just go. I seldom felt that way but once I'd put a few kilometers between me and the weird vibe I felt, and slept, much better.
I am a solo female camper, you need to listen to your spidy senses. It only happened to me twice, but no regrets as I have never had any bad experiences.
When you get that weird feeling to leave a wilderness area its always a good idea to do so. Good move, theres weird stuff out there.
ALWAYS TRUST YOUR GUT!!! Even if it seems foolish to you. Your body is sensing something that is making you uncomfortable and when you can't see or hear what it is, you have to trust it. You did the right thing. You may never know what it was that made you feel uncomfortable, but you did the right thing.
Always trust those instincts. People tend to shrug them off and many times don't live to regret their judgement. Better to be safe than sorry. Women's intuition is actually an amazing safeguard we never should ignore.
For me, I wouldn’t be comfortable camping close to rushing water because I couldn’t hear something bad sneaking up on me. Maybe that was part of what made you want to leave
