I really got freaked out today

Maureen,

I know the part of the Mississippi river park you're talking about. It's about a mile from my house. I went for a run down there once and slowly realized that there were a lot of single men just sitting on park benches and such, and not a whole lot of other people. I don't run down there anymore, and even when I run or ride by at the top of the bluff, I can't help but think every guy I see on the path is out cruising for some action.

Unfortunately, it's true, the authorities don't really seem interested in curtailing the action, because if they were, I'd actually see a cop over there once in awhile.

I guess it's just good to know where these areas are, so you can avoid them.

There's a park like that in Memphis, and also in Little Rock. During the day, if you go to the playground with your kid, there will be several men walking one at a time into the woods, or just sitting in their car waiting to see who shows up.

A few years ago I read that someone I went to school with, who was married to another classmate, and who had grown up to become a middle school principal, was arrested for that kind of thing at one of those parks. They were in the restroom, though. It's just sad, and now I don't let my boy go in a men's room in a park unless I check it first.

Teddy,
That's crazy! I'm glad you posted that, I've never been to HP, but I a bunch of friends who go there, some by themselves. I'll pass this story on to them.

Emily,
Let me know if you or your friends are looking for a riding partner. I would rather not ride alone at HP anymore.
