Thanks for the information Jay. Next time I am up that way I will stop there and give the meadows a try. I love small stream fishing...
My cat story: I grew up in a place that is now all National Park, Point Reyes peninsula (Inverness Park to be exact, so our playground was "the woods" or Tomales Bay and Papermill Creek. From a very young age it meant nothing to disappear from the house all day long into the woods behind the house and even to hike over the hill to Drakes Bay. On one of my forays up the local creek to catch "native" brown trout (planted by the German immigrants....part of my heritage) I was walking along and saw a large, old, gray haired cat about fifty yards away. It looked at me and I looked at it for quite a few seconds. Then it wandered upstream and I decided to end my fishing day right then. Just about 3/4 mile from my house. Didn't see another one in California for almost 35 years...that one running across the road on hwy 128 here in Mendocino.
Beautiful creatures best seen first by us than us by them I think. Just like Game Wardens I am sure those of us that wander in the wild areas along streams have been observed.
