I went back to the scene of the attack on Thursday with Washington State Wildlife officers and a team of cougar hound dogs. The photos below are of the scene of the attack and of the water bottle Dawn used to beat off the cougar (which was still there). Dawn was at the place where the officer is
, I was about the same distance up the trail again from where the photo was taken, and this is about the place where i was when the cat released Simon. You can see that we were basically in the alpine. One scary thing is that the Houndmen determined that the cougar followed us all the way back to the car. they made this determination as the cougars scent was most powerful near the carpark and progressively got weaker as we went up. There were also tracks going down along the trail.
