I've been on a San Diego beach vacation and received a voicemail from a
friend who visited MY lake while I was gone. This is the same lake that caused me to ask how to deal with intruding raccoons at the boat in campsites. I told all the Mom's that they had to watch out for rattlesnakes and mountain lions. I got zero response on the mountain lion mention. Until my friend, at anchor for a picnic on the water, turned to see what the noise was all about and watched a mountain lion scoop up a squirrel for lunch! She called while we were in San Diego; it must have been quite a sight to see. Wish I coulda been there. I guess they, the ACofE, mean it when they call it primitive boat-in camping. |

You hit the trifecta if there are tigers and bears there also! Oh my! ;-) Although rare, mountain lions have been known to attack humans and you may think twice about camping there again. http://www.topangaonline.com/nature/lionatk.html |

They remind me more of a dog than a cat when they are sitting there looking around. |

Not to mention the panfish, bass, and trout. Then there's the amazing bird diversity, not too mention all the unseen things. The nature of my lake has been growing on me over the year I've had my boat. |
