Was this guy a local and was like 6'5 ??? Big guy????? It happened to me also,I saw this local lady at the entrance to the path acting weird and singing(it was a signal to him) so I see the guy,,,it is a secluded place....

But,,,,since I have dealt with these types,,,had my trusty walking stick(weapon) looked him in the eyes and he moved away. I think he was going to try to rob me,not ask for money.
