I remember a trip we took once to the east coast. We were four of us in a new, air conditioned, Plymouth van and it was a LONG DRIVE. We rode a ferry from Wisconsin to Michigan. We stopped at Niagara Falls. We drove for two days before we got there. We thought it was a long trip. Today I read that a mountain lion was killed in Connecticut outside of New Haven. This same mountain lion walked 2,000 miles to get there because it originally came from the Black Hills of South Dakota. In 2009 and 2010 this mountain lion was in Minnesota and Wisconsin. I'm pretty sure it didn't take a ferry. Did it travel around the great lakes via Canada? Or did it take the southern route through Illinois, Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania? How many big cities did this cat silently walk through? How many close encounters did it have with humans? Did it eat any pets? What prompted this big animal to walk that far? How long had it been since it saw one of it's own kind? What a fascinating story!
