Hi everybody. I've enjoyed the great TR's on here recently and will post one myself from yesterday as soon as I can write it up. I ran a loop over Tabletop Mtn, tracks to trestle to Mortero Palms to Dos Cabezas Spring, and cross country back to my car at the NE corner of Tabletop Mtn. I had a great time with perfect weather and awesome views covering tough but freshly rained on terrain.
It was when I came across a large Bighorn carcass that my day changed. It didn't take long to realize that it was a very fresh kill with clumps of brush clawed up over it and slobber still wet on the bloody, pierced neck. This ram was as big as me and that cat was planning on coming back! I continuously stumbled and stubbed my toes for many miles through the boulders after that because I sure as hell wasn't looking at the ground anymore!
I'll do a write up soon and include the amazing pictures of this encounter.
