Mountain Lion Footprint

Well, this is supposed to be a mountain lion footprint up at the Trout Farm. It is smaller than my hand. There were several footprints all around in the drying mud. Years ago, while I was riding my mountain bike in Nisene Marks, I came around a corner and watched a lioness running away with 2 youngsters. Needless to say, I turned around and went back down the fire road to Sand Point Overlook. Which was good, because I ran into a old acquaintance from grade school and the owner of Seabright Brewery. They both have become good friends and riding buddies. I never have seen another mountain lion, but about once a year, in Nisene Marks, I will see a bobcat.

The Americas Cup is finally going to be exciting. They are using 45 foot catamarans, and best of all it will be fantastic viewing in San Francisco Bay. Check out the video of the prototype from Auckland. These boats can move.
