Friends of mine live in Placerville CA. When I first started staying with them ( aka sponging off them in exchange for property repairs) they lived opposite El Dorado High, whose football team were called the Cougars. Cougars, also known as Puma & Mountain Lion, were occasionally picked up on local CCTV roaming the suburbs. Pville is a small town.
One of their good friends was killed by a cougar whilst she was out jogging on a well used trail in the mid 90s. My friends are huge dog lovers, and normally have 4 rescue dogs at any one time, 2 of which are always BIG dogs. Reason is they walk the dogs en masse in open country reasonably close to town, and safety in numbers.
One of the few places in the world I would happily live. If I could ever afford the health insurance.
