Mountain Lion attack in Beg Bend National Park

As many readers know, in 2010 I took a motorcycle trip with my Dad to Big Ben National Park. During that visit, I took several excursions from the Park's lodge in the Chisos Mountains Basin into the surrounding area. We had hoped to see a mountain lion and we did see one that I got a picture of.

Needless to say, the news that a young boy was attacked while near the same lodge we stayed at was more than a little shocking and hit very close to home. Details can be found here. I have been on several on the trails that are now closed while they look for the cat. I think the fact that the smallest member of the party was the one attacked is significant.
