[pct-l] Newby Concerns

[jim persson]

Two or three weeks ago a husband and wife (he's 70 but looks50) were hiking somewhere in Humboldt County, CAL. A mountain lion jumped him but the wife beat him away with a tree branch.  He's in serious condition but they believe he'll survive.

    I'm a  (relatively) new hiker (day hikes only, no overnights since Boy Scouts 45 yrs. ago) and I'm a little hesitant at times to go since I go alone and there has been quite an increase in mountain lion attacks, sightings and stalkings (another one just two weeks ago) here in California.  Any opinions, good areas, trails, sightings, cheap prices on bazookas, advice??? 
    Thanks!
