[pct-l] Loin sightings

[dicentra]

Loins? Usually mine, I think. Skinny dipping in alpine lakes seems to draw an audience. :/

 
When I was in Bullion Basin the first time, we heard this crazy sound - like woman screaming bloody murder. It echoed really well through the mountains. Found out later there was a mountain lion in the area. Scary, but cool. Never seen one in the wild though.  I too have been attacked by humming birds, but that wasn't on the PCT.
