Mountian Lion

Yesterday I received an email notice from someone in our homeschool group here stating that a mountain lion had been spotted in Moss Beach. I took notice of it since we were meeting another homeschool family at a park in Moss Beach today. The sighting was not close enough to the park for us to be concerned, but I noted that it was near the very small Half Moon Bay airport. While talking at the park we decided to join the other family at gymnastics after the park for Nicca to try out a gymnastics class. His soccer is ending this week and he needs a new activity. As we followed them to gymnastics I noticed we were going by the airport and told the boys that this was where the mountain lion was spotted. Michael said that he was going to find it. Okay . . . good luck.
As we pull into the parking lot Michael yells that he sees it. I look around and he is pointing up a hill quite a ways to a walking trail that probably goes down to the beach. I see no mountain lion. He continues on that he sees it and I tell him to stop messing around. He tells me it is behind a bush. Okay, yeah, sure whatever. I get out of the car and he does as well and points to that direction, and holy shit - the mountain lion comes walking out from behind the bush up the trail. The gymnastics people called the wildlife rangers because the email said if it was spotted again to call so they could relocate it to a more appropriate area. Michael really found the mountain lion. HOLY SHIT! It is populated beyong all belief out here. On the coast where we are there are lots of nature areas, but none that are big enough for animals such as mountain lions. It made Michael's day though, and at least it wasn't close enough for us to be nervous, so it was an educational experience.
