Despite my user name, I have no wish to encounter unusual things in the wilderness

dude it is a pretty common phenomena but people don't know they all have similar cases so they dont have a name for it

but a lot of outdoorsy people know of the thing itself

she was like "you hit the victim profile exactly", the only difference is that she seemed to think it was gang related and I couldn't convince her otherwise.

yeah germans are the main people who go missing

but honestly I am willing to bet Germans are also statistically the most outdoorsy

Good thing I'm American...r-right 😅

@Kingfish https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smiley_face_murder_theory

she sent me an article about this

yeah this was a big thing for a while

The feel of fitting a victim profile perfectly must be weird. My mother fit the victim profile of a group of serial killing victims perfectly in the area she lived in when she was younger, and she remembered weird times where she felt like she was being followed or stalked. Seriously creepy stuff.

I fit the victim of unlawful RICO charges

Italian American kept down by the ANGLO

It didn’t even come out that they were serial killings until years later, too, which adds to the weirdness, since it likely wasn’t just her paranoia.

Good @Kingfish

if you live anywhere metropolitan (and often not), you will likely be within a mile or 2 of smiley face graffiti. Such a silly gang theory.

My great-grandfather fled to the US to escape the Mob, so I’m an Italian-American that’s supportive of RICO charges, lol.

Lol remember the crazy graffiti we saw in the tunnel while camping? @Papa Pizzagate

I have photos still lol

@Sam Anderson Should I find another epic location after our conference?

This time with warmer weather?

yeah it's a pretty dumb theory but the two guys who were into it were pretty credible. if i remember correctly their careers were hurt pretty bad by their theory

they might have been retired

maybe it was just their rep

there was some pretty legitimately weird graffiti in that tunnel though. Lots of satanic imagery, but a fair mix of goofy stuff (not to mention weiners lol)

A lot of that was probably drug inspired

For the record, I'm talking about the North Atlantic's camping/hiking trip to the abandoned PA turnpike

Syria Virginia has a nice hiking trail. @Papa Pizzagate its like 7 miles of uphill then downhill tho.

Certainly possible, but it's over a mile long and pitch black after 100 yards or so. @TylerHess Wouldn't want to venture in there under the influence myself...

Implying most people make decisions logically...

truth

@TylerHess have you guys done any more subterranean exploration in Southern CA?

I suspect that these degnerates via drugs interact with things that are incredibly evil, or so alien that they are for all intents and purposes evil

@Logan not yet lol

You and Joe Rogan both...

Though I don't entirely discount it myself either.

Interesting town. Hidden harbor, only a tunnel out past miles of mountains and glaciers. Two buildings, one a ruin and one a bustling hive, all surrounded by temperate rainforest.

@all of CA
