Wayayanda State Forest, NJ - The New Jersey State Park Police, here in New Jersey's Wayayanda State Forest, received an emergency telephone call, last weekend, from a group of terrified hikers on a mountainside within the Sate Forest. The hikers reported that they were unable to proceed on the hiking trail that they had been traversing due to the presence of a mountain lion sleeping on the trail ahead of them.

A State Park Police official, who asked to remain anonymous, stated that three officers responded to the scene, which can only be accessed by foot, to find a life sized stuffed leopard had been placed on the trail by previous hikers.

The leopard offered no resistance when it was removed from the trail, and the police escorted the hikers off of the side of the mountain without further incident. No injuries were suffered, except, presumably, some injured pride.

Thanks Jordan, glad to be back! July is a VERY busy time for me, but I haven't forgotten NP.  The busy time is beginning to wind down. I'll be around more and more as we head toward September.
