    It’s actually very scary on those trails at night , I’ve heard lots of stories over the few years of weird shit going on all across the whole run , specially Herndon area and when your going up to Sterling , lots of gang activities. Cults. Crazy stuff goes on there I’m not sure what the hell is going on. But there’s always something strange
