Audio+video: My weird biking mountain lion encounter

By walker on 8/30/2006 on walker's blog

You'll get a kick out of my mountain lion adventure. Imagine it is 6:30 in the morning. You're barely awake, yet on your mountain bike. You turn a corner on your favorite trail and AHH ... OHH ... you come face to face with a mountain lion. My favorite podcast so far!

Don't believe me? I went back later with my video cam and took this short footage. Meanwhile, someone had added some adornment to the poor cat. Weird, huh?
