It's not too uncommon to see women of all ages, from maybe 15-90, to go walking, jogging, or bicycling, sometimes alone, on the 4 1/2 mile WV loop that includes an aproximately one mile isolated, woodsie-canopied forested length of the Tripoli Rd. The Tripoli Rd is a ten mile long, Forest Service seasonal road, going from WV to Rt 93-Exit 32 in Woodstock, and the first mile is a bear-right turn off the ski area road, as one heads up to the ski area. I like to pedal my bicycle around the rolling 4 1/2 mile loop and know that there are women, some up in years, who make the walk alone just for the exercise, and that's the way it is.....so I pass them on the opposite side of the road and shout "howdy" as I pedal past....but it always seems to me like they were maybe being too trusting, being on foot and all alone, in that isolated Tripoli Road location...from what I know.... having been held up at gunpoint once myself in Boston.
