>start to hear cars on the highway.

>>456478
I don't get the 'is that a black person?'
Is it because black people don't go hiking?

>>457523
I honestly haven't seen a black person anytime I've gone /out/ and I live in the US

>>457523
I've literally never seen anyone who wasn't pasty white on the trail

I run into black folk now and then while out hiking, they're almost always fishing though not camping or backpacking or anything.

>>457523
Correct

Oh, I had wet weather gear and did alright fishing, just the whole aspect of camping for multiple days in the rain being miserable, trying to keep a fire going etc. Wasn't fun but no way I was going home after the long drive.

>just set up camp after a day hiking
