Kadizzle is back at Lake Roosevelt with Jasper Littlebottom. Last night the trail crew and a range crew member had a pizza party at the Earth Module. The big excitement around here was the mountain lion that was over at the work center. At the work center there are about six apartments for government workers. On a wall in front of the apartments the mountain lion was sitting. For some strange reason the lion was hanging around there and did not seem afraid of humans. Ken and Cliff yelled at it and tried to scare it away, but it would not leave. Finally the Game and Fish came shot rubber bullets at it to get it to leave. Why the animal would act this way is strange. The incident makes Kadizzle think of the NRA gunmen who carry pistols into the wilderness for protection from mountain lions. The lions don't seem to interested in people meat fed on cheeseburgers.
Kadizzle went to get ice yesterday and the Airforce was there with a helicopter practicing lake rescue. The drill was to drop people from about ten feet into the water and rescue a drowning person. The practice must have gone on well after dark because you could hear the noise of the helicopter out over the lake.
Today we will go visit an old hiking comrade Rodger. Rodger is suffering from cancer. If you have been following this blog for a long time you will recall all the good adventures we had Ruth and Rodger. For about three years we had great adventures hiking the southwest.
