I used to love hiking, but had a very bad hiking accident 14 years ago (shattered ankle, dislocated foot) and, even after 5 hours of surgery and 6 months of physical therapy, I never regained the full range of motion in my ankle. So I now find it difficult to walk on uneven ground. No more hiking.
But no likely encounters with mountain lion either. My biggest danger walking in the city is wild turkeys. They are everywhere! Once I was out for a walk and six turkeys surrounded me and were pecking at me. I yelled and swung my bag at them but they kept at it and chased me down the street (a quiet residential street -everyone at work, no traffic). Then a woman drove by, stopped, rolled down her window and shouted - "get in the car!", so I made my getaway
