[pct-l] OT: cougar sightings on San Gorgonio (near Section C)

[MAXINE WEYANT]

If you look closely, those were cubs, which was probably why there were 3. And his caption suggested that they hadn't seen his full form yet, had only seen his head bobbing along from below the trail when he took that photo, so this probably wasn't a stalking, just a lucky photo of 3 juveniles.

I've only had one sighting, while safe in my car, but here's a story from a guy who was stalked by THREE:

Anyone who sights a cougar along the PCT should feel truly fortunate rather
