Yes, there was another thread that had some stuff like this on it. Was chased/followed by some kind of bush hermit up near Norvan trail running a few years back. Was kinda freaky, like something out a movie. My Dog went fucking nuts when he realized I was freaked out. Had to threaten him to get him to piss off.
Weirdo in the woods
Quite a few homeless people seem to set up base around there. I remember trying to ride down another trail which wasn't GMG (unless I am getting the trailheads mixed up....there's two....) and I finally hit an old skidder and figured I'd easily get back to 'civilization' from there. I could hear voices pretty clearly below but I was a long way above the Cedar Trail still which weirded me out. The skidder then just ended. There was a faint walking trail down so I carried my bike down for a while and ended up in a bit of a camp with a bike, bags etc but no-one around. I finally ended up crossing a stream and suddenly found myself on Kirkford IRC which was a bit of a relief. I'm sure nothing would have happened if I bumped into anyone, but I was fed up of carrying / bushwacking my bike in the middle of nowhere!
Sounds like a trail builder to me. If you return to the area today I'm sure that you're going to find a newly erected step up table!
Unfortunately as this city grows and there appears to be no fix for the homeless, mental health issues, we will be seeing more of this.
Avoiding a guy swinging an axe around would be the best call. A buddy of mine lives on Arbourlynn st. over looking Inter river park. There was a whole tent city you could see from his backyard. Was a mess down there, also a death last year?

I stumbled across that stuff before too. Tons of garbage, clothes, old food containers, and that bike that had recently been spray-painted. Unlikely that anything would happen but I probably won't be heading out there again solo. This guy was definitely a little delusional.

This guy........also apparently responsible for using bait to injure dogs. The son of a prominent figure on the shore so was all swept under the rug.
Just watch yourself, some guy with a weapon seems unstable, call the police to have a word with him.

Don't be coy, out the fucker.

fyp....
was hiking in that area about 10 years ago and came across a guy shooting a pellet gun and was putting logs across GMG. We came across his camp later. Came across him later on and threatened to tear his camp down if we saw more logs on the trail. Weird people around here.
