The other time I was up the canyon near those cemeteries. There is a deep gorge and I went to look over the edge and there was a mountain lion at the bottom, might have been the same one I saw at the park. Anyway, that time the lion made eye contact with me and I backed away from the edge and sprinted down the road.

Is that bear on the road below Brown Mt?
Note to self: Kagel Canyon has big kitties.

Yes. That pic was taken on the paved road behind JPL, before the split that goes to Brown Mtn Rd.
