The update doesn't change anything about the facts at hand. Based on the
information I have it just means the young woman tried to defend herself. I'm
still under the impression that a crazed elderly lady is roaming the mountain.
I was told by two people today that she attempted to strike them with her
poles. One of them got it on video. As I mentioned, the young woman wasn't
comfortable talking about the bite and asked me not to mention it. Would you
have betrayed a confidential informant? There isn't much integrity in that is
there? Something I haven't mentioned yet is that I've had an encounter with
this woman as well. A group of us had just finished riding Expresso and we
encountered a group of women with their dogs. They weren't on the trail and
our group and theirs was stopped. Several of us said hello to them and one of
them, matching the description and photos, began screaming at us about not
owning the mountain and asking us what right we have telling her where to
hike. And this was in response to saying hello - nothing more. As in the first
incident, her friends did their best to shut her up, but she just kept
screaming at us. Eventually we just rode away and she kept on freaking out at
us; swearing, screaming and yelling. I think there is ample evidence that this
individual is un-hinged and potentially dangerous. Obviously evidence is not
the same as proof, but I would recommend everyone give her a wide berth.
