Last weekend we decided to go hiking at O'Neill Regional Park. It's located just southeast of the Irvine Spectrum in Mission Viejo. From the top of some of the hills, you can see the ocean to one side, and lots and lots of brush on the other. The hike we chose was about three miles, which should take about an hour and a half.
We weren't sure what to make of either the mountain lion or fire danger. We think you're supposed to make yourself look large and make lots of noise when confronted by a mountain lion. We think you're supposed to run from fire.
