PUMA, MOUNTAIN LION , COUGAR !!

Larry Henson told me that the surveyor team were the two guys that saw the cougar tracks south east of the park awhile back. So, we went to them to get the straight story of what it was they saw.

While surveying for the people making a mess of the forest to the southeast of the park, one of them told me this story.

I had been surveying for a client up behind your park and it had been raining pretty hard. We needed to take a reading down by the southeast gate of LVH. My partner and I walked down there to set up when we saw fresh cougar tracks in the mud coming down the road and going through the gate into the park. The racks went around the gate area and then back up the road into the forest.

A couple of weeks later they were surveying again and the area that had been cleared out just north of the road by the construction (more like the destruction) outfit. Had what they described as a cougar trail heading north into the cleared area and down into a forest ravine.

Think about whether you should be walking in that area.
