The strange and malevolent forces at work in the town add to the horror factor.

One is 'Tracks' by Robyn Davidson. It's about her solo trek across the Australian desert with camels. It's part adventure, part self - discovery, and all engaging. The descriptions of the harsh desert landscape and her relationship with the camels are really fascinating.

One good feels hiking story is when I hiked to a hidden waterfall. The trail was tough but as I got closer, I could hear the water. When I finally saw the waterfall, it was like a magical moment. The water was so clear and the spray felt refreshing on my face. It was a great feeling of accomplishment.

Sure. Once I was hiking with my friends. We saw a squirrel that seemed to be following us. It would run ahead a bit, stop, and wait for us to catch up, as if it was guiding us on the trail. It was really hilarious.

Well, I hiked a long trail last year. Along the way, I met an old hiker who told me about the history of the area. He showed me some hidden paths and we found a small meadow filled with wildflowers. It was a really memorable experience.
