[pct-l] Mountain Lion Encounter

[Diane Soini]

Keep in mind that thousands of people have hiked the PCT without a  
cougar encounter (I only saw some prints somewhere in Oregon). And  
collectively all of us PCT aficionados have logged thousands of miles  
without cougar encounters. And of those who had encounters this year  
or previously, nothing bad actually happened. Don't make it into more  
of a worry than it actually is. I've had worse trouble in life from  
two-legged varmints.
