We spent the weekend at Calaveras Big Trees State Park, near Arnold, Calif. As we did back in June, we saw spectacular giant sequoias and redwoods, only this time surrounded by poplars and dogwoods in brilliant fall colors.
No, we didn't see any mountain lions, but they're on the prowl up there, especially at dawn and dusk. The park rangers are asking visitors to report the wildlife they see in the park, and mountain lions are at the top of their list. We chanced to meet a ranger whose cat was eaten by a mountain lion this summer.
"They're still on the endangered list, but at this point they really should be taken off," he said.
