The experience of camping without a tent on the Lost Coast led to an unexpected encounter with a stalking mountain lion, prompting a chilling realization of danger.
I woke up in the middle of the night to what sounded like a cat coughing up a hairball... I turned a flashlight on the cliff above us and spotted a mountain lion.
Stalking us back and forth, the mountain lion’s eyes were fixed on us below, which led to a cold rush of panic and disbelief.
Our instinct was to run, but knowing we couldn't, the realization of our vulnerability sank in, highlighting the danger of camping in the wild.
