Do you have first hand knowledge
of mountain lion, bear or other dangerous wildlife sightings? May 1, 2008 I have learned there is a mountain lion that has been sited near Wooded Glen Drive. Also 2 cubs have been seen down by the river behind Wooded Glen. My neighbor has lost one of her cats and another one is missing. I have read of 3 missing dogs and would hope they find their way home before they become a meal. All council members and cert members should be alerted. My neighbor's daughter has put a notice up at the post office. Keep your pets inside if possible and take care of your children. A mother lion with cubs could do most anything. Reported by Kathy Hawkins, Golden Aspen September 19, 2007 I was driving up Logan's grade
tonight about 8pm and got stuck right behind a 350 lbs to 400 lbs bear on
the side of the road. He ran and walked in front of the rig in the middle
of the road until I was at the Brown property. Then he left the road and
laid down by the Brown pump house on Logan's grade. This is between the
pump house and the Lawless property. I called Liz and Mike, along with
other residents on Logan's grade to let them know they have a bear in the
area. It might be nice to put this out to everyone you can.

During the early morning on April 7th or 8th a large male mountain lion was reported on the porch of a residence on Deerwood Court. Other than agitating the two dogs in the garage there were no problems and the lion has not been seen since. March 6, 2007 - Walt & Maxine Tyler found mountain lion tracks the size of Samantha's hand on their property recently! Well Hello! Last week we had a dog taken by some animal. We have a good guess that it was a mountain lion, as we have a deer highway next to our house and the deer use our pond out front as a drinking fountain. I found suspicious looking doo-doo in our front yard as well. We have a cat currently missing and are keeping our remaining dog inside because I don't think the kids could take it if we lost another animal this week. We are newish up here, and so are not too wise in the ways of the wildlife around here. I am doing more research and will possibly call animal control. Oh... we are located on Rollingwood Drive near String Canyon, I can actually see String Canyon from my house. We'll keep you updated if I find out anything more concrete. Melissa D. La Chapelle January 2007: My friend, Carolynda, hit a good sized mountain lion with her car in mid-January. The cat ran across the road in front of her on String Canyon Road about halfway between Logan's Grade and Sciaroni. Although it took a good thump to the butt, the cat ran away as though it was not very injured. (Carolynda did not stick around to assess its medical condition!)
