I went riding out east way past the lake on Otay Lakes Road today. I just wanted to see what was out there (actually haven't driven out there in a while) and I wanted to see if the road continued to be sucky past the skydiving place (it is).
Did you know there is a campground just about 2.5 miles east of the lake (a Thousand Trails RV park). I remember driving past it as a kid and I think we went to a chili cookoff or something there. I remember thinking that it was waaaayy out there.
Anyway, I digress.
A little past the campgound is just a big valley. As I was cycling east I noticed a fox just trotting along parallel to my path. He was kinda cute (looked a lot like Khyber) but much smaller (maybe 15-20 lbs).
He did not seem to care much that I was there, he was just cruising it. If it wasn't that he was a wild animal with teeth, I would have stopped to take a picture.
Then on the way back I passed him again. He had crossed the road and now was on my side again, but approaching me at his same "crusing it" pace. As I got fairly close, he ducked under the wire on the side of the road and headed off into the valley.
It's just weird to think that larger wild animals are that close to where we live.
