Don't you agree that most "innocent" people who "happen" upon each other 
in the bush would either greet one another, and/or go their individual 
ways?  I don't think that you overreacted.  I have come across stills, 
pot gardens, and once a porn library while wandering off-trail.  We MUST 
appear to be more than casual hikers when we are lingering in an area 
with GPS, cell phone, or other visible equipment (cache containers, 
etc.).  To a crook, who has a purpose in the woods, and doesn't know 
ours, WE are the suspicious characters.
