Last month I did my annual trip to the Northern Sierras. Armed with a three weight and a jonesn' for some intense hiking, I spent a lot of time wandering the elevation. At one point I had interesting poop sighting - one that didn't resemble any bear or hoofed animals I'm aware of - that said, I'm no scatologist.
Let this serve as a shout-out to the Chum Nation for a little help. Details:
- elevation: 6500 feet
- nearest city: Quincy, CA
- known large animals in the area: human, black bear, cougar, deer
- scat size in these photos: diameter of a medium sized dinner plate
- There were 20 similar piles of this (pun intended) crap scattered across the area of a 1/2 acre
Thoughts?
