“ Fly Like an Eagle Man!” 🐸
“Time is of the essence” my green friend! We need to “Fly” if we are going to make it to “Slumbering Bear” and back before dark today!” 😇
With the Late Fall/early Winter days getting shorter, Silvertop’s Solar electric production is slowing down……….
That’s not the only thing affected by the much shorter days…………..
Silvertop’s daylight hours for hiking are getting shorter as well!😮
“Slumbering Bear” trail is high above the ridge top that I have been hiking recently.
After climbing up steep trails initially, the trail takes a quick drop into a “Darker” section of the forest!
At lower elevations, you can still see some Fall color.
Not so on Slumbering Bear ………….😮
You definitely need to watch the time of day hiking this trail, and also double check for that you are carrying your canister of Bear spray!🙄🐻
Bears like this gloomy section of the forest for hibernation. This is also the section of trail that a couple of years ago the bark on several trees was shredded!😺
Cougars and Bears tend to have a mutual understanding that they leave each other alone…………..
I always hope they feel the same way about Silvertop!😇
I have read that cougars are technically the top “Alpha” animal, but usually if given the choice between “ Fight or flight” they tend to prefer the latter!
That’s a very good thing, given that they have “razor blades” on all four feet!😳
“PEPE, we need to start back for home, it will be dark soon, and we don’t want PEPE, or Silvertop on anyone’s dinner menu today Lol!😺
Till tomorrow Silvertop Mike 😊

Dear.......I think your GPS is off since you've been a bit laid up! You were on Bear Hollow Trail, lol! Good thing you had Pepe to get you home!
🐸💜🐸🤗🐸
I can always depend on PEPE 😇😊
🤣🤣🤣
You suck😜, you got sun! My driveway gate died since the battery isn't getting charged enough with all the clouds...
6.3 Kw Solar array…..
Usually it keeps our batteries charged but…December and January, can be brutal!😳🙄
I just had to install a new mighty mule electric gate opener this last summer.
I ran over 300 ft of underground wire so I can use the household deep cycle batteries !😅
I have a single 18v solar panel supplying my gate battery and we live in the pit... I'll be climbing the tree and dropping branches soon so I can raise the panel enough, will likely be up over 50ft high when mounted.
That should give you good sunshine!👍
Winter time is tough, especially in a valley !🙄
Yeah… you don’t want to mess with those razor blades! Stay safe!
Gorgeous fall foliage.it’s definitely headed into winter though.
Usually, we hike in a group for safety…
One year Liz and I were followed by two cougars !😺😳
oh my, that is some scary thought, being a dinner to something.
😳…..🐻….😺
It’s reassuring to know that cougars are less likely to approach you! What about bears? Do they prefer to fight or flight?
The forest can feel a bit spooky sometimes, even in the summer. Personally, I just love the wide-open ocean, @silvertop ! !LOL

Fortunately the bears are mostly hibernating by now and cougars don't like people as a general rule. So I think you'll be safe. Still beautiful there as always!
Exactly spot on !👍
I’ll give them plenty of space and just enjoy the forest!😊
