Ducking while ascending and descending through the manzanitas was not that great. (I ended up retrieving a couple of things that were yanked off my pack and providing bread crumbs to make sure we were following the same trail on the way back. The most interesting part of the 4 sets of ruins was in the farthest set where a part of the second floor was intact complete with the top dirt layer. Just an FYI for those hiking in the area, about 300-500' feet from the final stream crossing before Pottery Point (Basically right before the Devil's Chasm starting point.) 2 large Mountain Lions came onto the road about 10 feet in front of my truck. I stopped and they both walked down the road. Within 30 seconds both had disappeared one went south of the road the other north towards the creek. This is the most exciting animal encounter I've had in the Sierra Anchas and my wife and I have been fortunate to see a large variety of animals during our hikes to the ruins in the area. It is a good reminder that the area is a wilderness area and to plan accordingly.
Upon returning from the hike there were several cattle in the same area where my wife and I saw the mountain lions. This was surprising considering how many cattle guards you cross to get to Pottery Point. We wondered on the way out if a steady diet of beef contributed to the size of the cats. |
