The Bobcat And The Sunset On Mountain Drive- 12/18/09

Mountain Drive had it all yesterday afternoon- a great ride, great sunset, and a large bobcat that ran out in front of me just at dusk. At first I thought I might have been looking at a small mountain lion but turned out it was a large bobcat. We looked at each other for about 10 minutes at a distance of about 20 ft before he got tired of looking at my spandex and decided to leave.



This cat clearly has no regards for the law!




Another great sunset in paradise

Parma Park Showing Signs Of Life...and Other Pics

First time I rode on Mountain Drive since before the Tea Fire. Partially out of respect of the victims and partially to the fact that its not the same any more. This past Sunday I rode Mt and found far more bikes than cars on this nearly deserted street. The photo taken of Parma shows grasses pushing through after the last couple of rains. It is a good thing Parma is closed because also visible are several areas of hillsides sliding down and taking sections of trail with it. Below this photo is one of Parma taken the week after the Tea Fire. Below both of them is a photo from my afternoon run up to Inspiration Pt.
