@elaterite I'll have to look for them next time I'm out there!
@tamami It was somewhere along the east shoreline. But the photo is from 2020. I should go take a look myself to see if they are still there! Good excuse to get the kayak out, when it is warmer, though.
@elaterite I hiked there once last year, but no one was there and was too quiet... Strange that I'm fine being totally alone on my favorite trails, but in unfamiliar places I get so creeped out 😅
@tamami It is easy to do. I sometimes have that problem when hiking at night, especially moonless nights. Sometimes it will occur to me that it is prime mountain lion territory. And that spark mushrooms into thinking a cat is following me. I will turn my headlamp up high & flash it around looking for eyes. Then I settle down & remember that loin attacks are extremely rare & that I have my trekking poles to use as weapons...if the cat doesn't just jump me from behind & bite my neck! 😬 😂
@elaterite Yes, especially during the winter, I worry about the big cats. I have several friends who refuse to use trekking poles, because they think poles are for old folks, and then I tell them about the fighting chances they'd have if they had the poles... hahaha
