PRAIRIE CREEK – Avid hikers Jim and Nell Hamm of Fortuna had never seen a mountain lion track, much less an actual lion, in all the years they’d hiked California’s abundant trails.

But that changed in a horrifying instant last Wednesday, Jan. 24, when a mountain lion knocked 70-year-old Jim Hamm down and clamped its teeth onto his skull just a quarter mile from the Newton B. Drury Scenic Parkway at Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park."
