[pct-l] Lion (not the mountain variety) Encounters on the PCT

[Josh]

Ditto on all of L-Rod's sightings EXCEPT for the cats! :(  I THINK I've seen
a bobcat at a distance, but it was dusk & my eyes could have just been
playing tricks on me.  I have seen all the cats at a nearby Wild Cat
"Park"...but none in the wild. :(

My list of wild animals seen (the reason I love to get out
there!) 

   

                Bears                     6 

                Mtn.
Lions           2 

                Bobcats                1 

                Fox                         6 

                Coyotes               innumerable 

                Pine
marten       1 

                Antelope             dozens 

                Elk                          hundreds (Colorado migration is
a sight to behold) 

                Marmots             dozens 

                Pikas                      1 

   

I get so excited when I see creatures in their native environments, doing
what they do.  Never had a problem with any of them .
. . except the demon squirrel at Grouse Meadow . . . but that’s another
story!

  Some factoids about Shambala . . . Roar Foundation was
  founded by Tippi

  Hedren, who, amongst her many lifetime accomplishments, starred in Alfred

  Hitchcock's "The Birds".

  

  If you take the Metrolink Train between Santa Clarita and

  Palmdale/Lancaster, you go right past Shambala and can see the lions,

  tigers, and elephants.  

  

  It's a local rumor that a leopard escaped a few years ago, and is running

  wild someone in the local mountains.  No idea of it's factual, but
  without

  any escapees, we have plenty of sightings of bobcats and mountain lions,
and

  occasionally even bears.

  Last year I camped near the power lines just north of Soledad Canyon

  Road (around mile 446). Darkness brought the sound of periodic

  ROARing.  Hmmm...the map does say I'm in or near Bobcat Canyon, but

  this sounds like...more.

  

  Turned out that this place is somewhere nearby -
