More population, more developements, mean less space for the critters!

We live right next to Whiting Ranch where a mt biker was killed in January 2004, and another mt biker was mauled.  When I first started mt biking 12 years ago, I used to ride in that park every day, by myself!

This past summer, a mt lion crossed the path ahead of me at another local park while I was mt biking at lunch.  The only ther time I ever saw a mt lion while mt biking was in Nov. 1996, when it was walking in the same direction as I was riding, about 120 yds ahead of me. I very discreetly turned aroound and high-tailed it back to my car.  And yet, I'm still more afraid coming across a rattlesnake than a mountain lion...weird...

I've avoided Rancho Cuyamaca State Park because of the large lion population there.

Also, for the record, I voted against the lion hunting ban.

Perhaps I can change that.

Mountain lions, like most cats, often observe their prey several times before striking.  If you have seen the cats, they have seen you many, many times.

Oh, I don't doubt that, AB.  Like I said, I'm weird. :screwy: But if I let myself think of that reality, I'll never go mt biking again...
