Oh yes, Gary does know how lucky he was. He doesn't bike alone anymore. And we've seen bear close to his cabin as well. I live in Northern AZ & I know I've seen a rabid gray fox on my walks with my GSD. One day it was one standing right in the middle of the side walk & wouldn't move as I got closer. Then it took a couple steps toward me. I immediately turned & went the other way for fear it was rabid. Did others on this list happen to see on the news the rabid fox that attacked a man? They got the attack on video? Pretty scary. Koda's Kathy > You don't know how lucky he is to be alive today. People have been killed > mountain biking in southern CA by mountain lions.
