Jungle Boy
August 17, 2010 | Filed under: Stuff
I hike almost every day, and almost every day I see some interesting stuff. Mostly it’s really cute guys. See, we have a lot of athletes up here training in high altitude so the scenery is very nice.
And so is the landscape.
I tell you these strange things that happen to me (like the time I ran into Luke Wilson in green high tops on the Sawtooth Trail) and I always wonder if you believe me. One of my best friends, Carrie (who sometimes comments here — hi Carrie!) was visiting only a few weeks ago. I dragged her up the trail and she got to see five gorgeous guys running shirtless. We stopped and got off the path to let them pass (while we swiped at our drool) and finally she shook her head. “You’re not kidding about the cute guys,” she said.
Nope.
Then two more gorgeous men rode by on bikes just because.
You all think I hike to stay in shape. Not so much. 
ANYWAY, along with the occasional Luke Wilson, the bears, coyotes, deer, rabbits and the amazing looking guys, comes the truly odd.
Like the naked guy on the bike.
Ha. You thought I was kidding AGAIN. Nope. I saw him coming and I scooted off the trail and stared. I couldn’t help it, I thought maybe I was hallucinating since I’d given Frat Boy all of my water. But there the old guy was, coming at me. With nothing on but a loin cloth. He waved and smiled and said “Hi Sweet Thang, my name is Jungle Boy” … And then he was gone, halfway up the trail before I remembered you’d all want proof of this one and got my cell phone out.
So I guess I should say, today’s blog is brought to you by Jungle Boy. And a loin cloth.
(What can I tell you, I mean, seriously, you can’t even make this stuff up!)

Do you think that the seat could possibly burn his umm well you know. And to further that thought wouldn’t he have a chafing issue?

Jill. Jill. Jill. I never miss your blog. Never. Even if I have to play catch-up.

Well now, is that just so special(lol). My question is, Why does it have to be “old guy with sagging parts” in a loin cloth. And why didn’t you post any pictures of young shirtless sexy guys? Thanks for the laugh!

Um, ouch! That seat can’t be comfortable with a loin cloth on. The things you SEE!
Posted on August 17th, 2010 at 10:27 amDonna M says:
OMG! Why would you want to do that?
Other than seeing Naked Guy I would love to hike with you. Right now I am breaking in new shoes & have a blister dispite all the precautions I took. No walking today! Darn! I never see interesting things like that!! Which may be a good thing. 
You are so right Jill, you could never make this up!

How does he do that? I would think there would be chafing issues and things in the way. But to each his own I guess. Thanks for making me laugh!

I am here to verify that shirtless guys do show up on the trail and that crazy things do happen to Jill on a regular basis which of course is quite entertaining. So…keep up the good work and keep taking your walks. Love ya

Carrie, just be glad I didn’t tell the story of you and me trying to get from the lake back to the truck the day we visited Alpha Man at work. I Love Lucy and Ethel and their finest.

Whoa! Thats…..creepy. Would definitely prefer pics of the cute shirtless guys!

ROFL!! OMG, Jill. I swear the damndest things happen to you! This has to go in one of your books sometime. And the whole seeing gorgeous guys on the hiking trails? STORY MATERIAL. Those sightings can so TOTALLY be a book.
