Mountain Lion Tracks in Santa Monica Mountains

This is why I was stressed out hiking alone this evening in the forest.

Perfect fresh mountain lion tracks in an area that is reputed to have a mountain lion living there.

Ack! No fun. Stress stress stress.

I didnt know whether to go fast then be mistaken for running prey or act casual. I tried to look tough and keep the statistical odds against being attacked in mind. No good. I’m an idiot for going alone at dusk.
