No joke Guys, Cougars ARE becoming a real problem in the Pacific Northwest. I remember when Ron was here, camping at the trout creek campground, up Hwy. 20 a few miles, into the lower elevations of the Cascades. He came here with big eyes, had seen tracks in the river sand, asked me what cougar paw prints looked like. I pointed to some wet prints our kitty had left under the porch roof and said: "Just like that only a lot bigger". RoninLB has seen some scary things as a NY fireman...but as he looked at our cat's paw prints, his eyes got even bigger. A Cougar had indeed walked within a few feet of his tent. The big cat must have figured that Ron didn't smell good.
