Dragonlions...BEWARE!!

So there's this trail behind our apartment that goes right down into campus...it's a great shortcut and we love to go walking around and through the hills (I wouldn't necessarily call them mountains) around us. Well, apparently, we're not the only ones. So after one day of walking down to campus, this sign was posted everywhere THE VERY NEXT DAY!! Three mountains lions (or dragon lions as Riley calls them...) were spotted on that very trail at night by our crack-squad of highly motivated campus public safety personnel and their night-vision goggles! They want us to call them IMMEDIATELY if we see anything. Just wondering what security guards are going to do with a group of vicious mountain cats...throw rocks at them maybe? AWESOME!! So now, every time we step out the door, Riley reminds us to 'watch out for the dragon lions, they will tear off our eyelashes and we will cry all day'. (WHAT?)

One of the many, many perks to living in Southeast Idaho where spring is actually snow season, and the temperatures hover around the 30's and 40's bringing all the wildlife down from the mountains and into town.
