Everyone who already knows me, knows this: I have a particular disdain of revealing my identity, photo, and most particularly, broadcasting the location of my lone self trekking in some remote location (to a bunch of strangers on a message board.) To me, the caution is obvious, but to others, I am paranoid. You decide.

Here is a quote from the following story of how a solo rower was tracked and attacked by someone following her progress on her Blog:

She said she was sleeping alone in her boat on an isolated stretch of the Upper Peninsula when she was surprised and assaulted by a man who had crept on board. Michigan State Police are still looking for the man, whom they suspect may have tracked her movements through her blog.
