The past 4 days I have been hiking in the Cleveland National Forest in Southern California. This is a unique area of Desert and rolling hills. Lots of sage brush, cactus, oak, and Mountain Lions. I have backpacked here and day hiked about 20 times over the past 3 years. Everytime I leave that area there seems to be a Mountain Lion attack. Two people have been killed in the past few years in a near by area called Whitting Ranch. There has also been a few attacks in Caspers Wilderness Park a few miles away. Besides the many tracks and lots of scat there are the many rattle snakes. This really is great place for pictures and practicing skills. Here are a few pics from todays (friday) hike and a few from the days before. I hope you enjoy them!

Gina found a great use for the Vic hiker Awl. Seems the ranger forgot to punch the hole in the park pass.
