During this ‘pleasant ramble in the woods’ (that’s what I wrote in the summit log I found in the army surplus ammunition box bolted to a small boulder on Anderson Peak), I saw exactly two other humans. They were standing a few yards off the trail, with lots of gear at their feet, waving as I walked by, less than an hour into what I estimated would be an eight hour excursion, multiple breaks and the obligatory nap included. Five hours and change later, I ran into them again.
