Sunday Hike along GMR

Got out for a hike on Sunday morning along the road. Fairly quiet on the way up. Peloton of cyclists coming and going. Cathy stopped and chatted with me. Good to catch up about life, work and phoning home.



Spoke with a hunter on the way down. He spotted three does along the ridge. I identified one as she moved. He told me of a mountain lion sighting just three weeks ago between first saddle and Newmans around mile marker 8. The lion feeds roughly every three days. The goats in Big Dalton have been moved. No easy snacks there.



Turned around at mile marker 10.63 otherwise known as Coyote Corner. Two long walks. One bike ride. My bones were tired.
