I just got back from the OP with the KID and we had a possible close call. We walked into the calawah from the bogie and on our way back we were going to take the trail from the north pond through the woods instead of the river. Well Kid spotted BIG kitty prints on the trailhead. They looked to be pointed right at us! Like she was just sitting there waiting for the smaller of us two to venture away(that being me) So we hiked along the river and problem solved.(I'm seriously wondering if I should pack heat when I'm walking the OP) This is not the first time either I've SEEN cats out there 4 times now
