It must have been in 89 or 90 on a leisurely Sunday afternoon walk, years before there were more frequent mountain lion sightings, we saw a young, about half-grown fellow of that species dozing off in the sun half way up the hill not too far from the park entrance. Just about 35 yards in front of us, not too worried, finally trotted away. So, does it mean this park has a special appeal to the wild fellows? Maybe because it is not so frequented by humans? GRW
P.S. The park ranger,at that time, did not really believe us, since there was no sighting like this before he knew about(I am a hunter – saw a few bigger ones before in Northern CA and I know how far a 35 yard target is).

Wow, Terri! I had no idea there were elk anywhere near the Bay Area. Thanks for sharing. I posted this on my Facebook page – great shot!
