Good morning, all. Wow, here we are...7 threads later, Bryce missing for, what? 6.5 weeks now? Let's hope today we hear some positive news.
Since we're hashing and rehashing at this point, in the absence of nothing new, here's me slinging some:
Was reading a forum post on a bass fishing site, and there was a fisherman's report on Castaic Lake which I found interesting for our purposes for a couple of reasons.
He wrote how in the Castaic area live mountain lions, rattlesnakes, bears, coyotes and bobcats. He says to be cautious when fishing at around 4AM, as carnivorous animals like to hunt at dawn and dusk.
- The other point I read with interest was where he was talking about moonlight fishing. He says from his experience don't count on the moon for light, as it may get heavily overcast, cloudy and pretty dark. He has a photo of a crescent moon, and the photo is black, except for some lights.
Bryce was out by the lake just around the predawn hour he writes about. I know I've read someone's post way back about the possibility of a mountain lion attack, but I imagine there would have been obvious signs of an attack if that were the case, wouldn't there? (Sorry, I know it's a horrible thought.)
And the moonlight issue got me wondering just how dark it actually was at the time of the accident. Would it have been pitch black, or would the sky have started lightening by then? If he walked the path the scent dogs said he traveled, that was some spooky walk he did if it was still black outside.
