When I visited the Santa Rosa mountains visitor center, I noticed their animal track tray and sand box outside on their newly-renovated back patio. I wandered over to take a look and saw that they had a mountain lion print. All of the tracks were plaster of Paris molds. Of course, I had to further examine the mountain lion one. So, I smoothed out their box of sand, and planted it in the sand and stood back to look at the print. LOOK how big it actually is! I always enjoy visiting the center and I can't wait for this weekend to grab my coffee and croissant and sit and enjoy the view from their patio!
