I have solo backpacked a few times when I had no interested partners. I go on the majority of my day hikes by myself.
I also do all of the planning for the hikes and pick where to go.
Not much harrassment all these years in the high country...more at the arts and crafts shows I attend. Sometimes a bit of admiration from the mens when they've found out I was dayhiking a bit of a distance...Island Pass, Dusy Basin, Bullfrog Lake, Minaret Lake and a solo dayhike up Whitney. And I have heard comments about my stupidly large backpack. Whatever, I like it.
No Facebook for me although I'm told I miss a lot of family stuff there.
