thanks for signing the summit logs cba, enjoyed your profile shot....small cats are hard to sneak up on if not impossible...I have been that close to a Lynx in Tahoe, only because it was way too curious what this human was doing trail running in 2' of fresh snow...cheers!
(Your mentioning of mountain lions frequenting the area reminds me of a rather interesting occurrence a few years ago in Missoula, where a couple came home after a late night movie to discover a mountain lion in their house! It was a young female with cubs; the adult had been injured, and had to be destroyed; the cubs were turned over to a zoo. But this happened within the city limits! I can just imagine the conversations taking place over the next few weeks: "You stay in the car, dear, while I check the house for mountain lions....")

That is a wild story Saint. Missoula is a cool place. She must have been desperate. That is where zoos definitely have a place (outside of educational value) in our society. When mothers get killed in unnatural ways, I think it is best to try to save their offspring. Grizzly 66 was an old mainstay in Banff (strolled down main street once). This past year she was raising 3 cubs near town and doing a great job of it. She was killed by a train and then a huge debate imitated what to do with the cubs. They let them fend for themselves until two were killed by a car/truck. Then they finally took the last one to the Calgary Zoo. I would like to see a zoo that exclusively could say all of its animals were either saved and/or raised on their premises. Thanks for sharing Saint. Cheers.
Cheers!....it can be, but that keeps the bugs and tourists at arms length...last night I ran in -25C, ski goggles, gaiters, etc, I am sure I looked quite stylish to the Elk...

Untitled CommentLooks like a good sport cllimbing area and quite a bit different from the Utah sandstone.
