for the ignorant, what rides are near:

Bolero Springs
Fremont
Dripping Springs

Holy smokes, 9 sightings at Weir! Those 3 cats at Weir sound like they're hunting just like those velociraptors in "Jurassic Park."

Hopefully just hunting deer that is.

[Winger]

Thanks for the heads up! I was just about to do a weir loop solo but I'll just stick to the Anaheim hills area.

This summer is going to get interesting.

Like during the last drought, the bears will be swimming in backyard pools in Altadena.

I might start taking my 155 lb South African Bourbel buddy on my rides. He will take care of business.
Built to take on lions in South Africa, this will be cake walk.

Jeezus, I was out there today but didn't see the Lion.

[Waldo]

Why do I always spot these warnings right after a solo ride?

[Permagrin]

Wow, for as much solo hiking I do, I'd say I've been pretty damn lucky. Thanks for the info; guess I have to find some people to put up with my crap now! And thanks for the link to the IRLR - I've been looking for those maps and probably gleemed right past 'em!
