---------------------


Went for a ride today after our first winter storm of the year. It was very early but much needed. We were in the midst of a severe drought and the state was on fire. Three days of rain, snow at 5,000 ft and higher (we live at 4,200 ft) and highs in the 30s. This was taken a few miles from my place and at an elevation of about 5,200 ft. I was just below Marysville. In the 1890s it was the most populous town in Montana due to the gold and silver mining in the area. These days there are less than 100 people in the town, but it has a good bar and a popular ski hill.

Holy Cow!
That cat is displaying Territorial Aggression, had it been stalking you would not have seen it and if it had been stalking for food you would not have seen the takedown coming. Probably a female with kittens in tow or nearby, based on the size and behavior.

Yes, there were kittens on the road at the beginning of the video. The guy was actually creeping up on them to get a clearer video when momma made her appearance. Mom made absolutely sure he got pushed surprisingly FAR away from them. The dude stated after that he thought they were bobcats and not mountain lion cubs.

I got bitten by a bobcat kitten on the thumb. I lived in the Angeles Mountains and was heading home. An elderly neighbor flagged me down and asked that I help her remove a kitten from a large plant pot that she could not reach into. Being the neighborly type I went to help. Sure enough, the cutest dusky orange kitten, about fist size, was at the bottom of the pot. It’s a kitten , my brain said, throw caution to the wind. I reached down and grabbed it, about face level all of my biology background starts ticking off identifiers, tufted little ears, short stubby tail, mottled orange coat… I just started to say “hey this is a bobcat ki…” when the little guy bit into my thumb clean down to bone, little teeth were like needles so just nice puncture wounds and another one at the doctors for tetanus. I shook him off and he disappeared into the vegetation, not even a thank you or anything. Mama was probably scoping me out from the underbrush.

Natures center stand.
Yes it was. Deep, very deep soft sand. If your in it and stop, that's what you get. I learned to keep moving through it. :)

First ride of 2023, nice little 75 miler. Remember they make more power the colder it gets.

I took advantage of the unseasonably warm weather to put about 150 miles on the bike today. This is down around Lake Mackenzie.
