High Above Mountain View

Paula walks Raleigh through mountain lion territory
We take Raleigh for a walk high in the hills of the Pacific Coastal Range where grassy knobs are swept by Pacific winds.  This country is beautiful.  And it is full of mountain lions.  We see signs warning us to proceed at our own risk.  And what to do when confronted by a mountain lion.  Stay facing toward the beast.  Look big and make a lot of noise.  I make sure to keep Raleigh way in front with little Paula taking up the rear.  Mountain lions prefer smaller prey, right?  There is scat sign of the big cats all over the road.  Raleigh wants to follow scent trails at every turn.  We get spooked and head for the safety of the car.
