Except for a few fence posts, and a tri-state marker on top of a hill, it would be possible to believe that I was the first person to past through these parts since the gold rush. The view was spectacular with blue skies with fluffy white clouds, desert-like shrubs and a dry, hard-dirt trail. I was alone and lost in my own world - enjoying the perfect run. Until I thought about mountain lions and panthers. And the thought popped in my head that maybe I should have shared all of this beauty with my running buddy.
