Nothing like getting up close and personal with a bobcat. I decided to do the hill run today. Even though it's mid-June, the temperature was only 85 degrees this afternoon. I took the opportunity to go west instead of east for my 5 miles.
Once you get up Ridge a bit there's a path that descends down to the creek and under the bridge before hugging the backend of a neighborhood. It's a nice path with good shade at this time of day. The grass along the path has grown up a bit and the trees need to be trimmed back, with some low branches haning particularly low and into the path. On my return route I came upon a bobcat that was jus toff the path and about four feet away from me. He stopped and looked at me. I looked at him and kept running, with a few glances over my shoulder. I guess he thought I wasn't worth the meat on my bones. Whatever the case, I'm glad he didn't react to me as a threat when I passed him. Kind of weird to see him so close to a neighborhood, but I've seen stories of them around this area. I'd be okay to not see another.
