I loved the picture of the Lynx and the corresponding article on Alaska.
About 45 years ago I went to Alaska with my teen age daughter, we drove a
Datsun B210.
We visited Mt. McKinley Park, they had a free bus that took you into the
Park about 50 miles.

On one of our climbs in the park and I cannot remember the name of the Mtn.
I decided to leave the
group and go back down to the Parking lot,( I had left my cigs on the bus
and I wanted a smoke ) I do not have
that habit any more quit about 30 years ago.  Anyhow as I rounded a corner I
came across a dead elk and 
something had been eating on it and I surprised it. It was really steaming
from its belly. That scared me and
I took off in a hi speed run singing at the top of my lungs.

You  brought back some great memories for me.

Cheers,

Marge (the old gal)

Damn, you found me out.  And Roman had on a big duck costumn.  We only had
to run from the guys with the rifles.  The lynx was too smart to bite, but
we could have fooled a bear.  They'll eat anything.  It takes big game
hunting to another level.
