[pct-l] Mountain lion attack

[Donna "L-Rod" Saufley]

A book I have frequently referred to, "The Beast in the Garden" by David Baron, is a study and history of mountain lion attacks in the Boulder, Colorado area.  It centers upon the attack of a high school athlete who was killed by a lion while running around the property of his school. It is one of those Krakauer-like in depth factual studies of the subject, told in a spellbinding manner.  Mr. Baron is often quoted when there are mountain lion attacks.

It is an excellent read to learn not only about mountain lions in Boulder, but mountain lions where many of us live. I strongly recommend reading it to understand more about these amazing predators among us.

>Not good news for the CDT hikers.
> A mountain lion killed and consumed part of a man who lived right off the CDT in So Colorado.
>The man lived by himself and bathed outside his trailer and was dragged off by a Couger today. His brother showed up looking for him today and saw a  Couger in the area. Upon looking around found the body of his brother......  This has not happened very often i would guess near any hiking trail.....
