...took a walk up Ontario Peak (in the So. Cal. San Gabriel mountains near Mt. Baldy) and (nearly) stumbled on this mess:
(Couldn't help but think of you guys!)
For the scatologists among you, what kind is this? Saw these guys along the trail; one of these, perhaps?

The stuff on the plate is a poo poo platter.
The 1st pic is from Rumsfeld's last big idea.

Man. I can't wait for the steady stream of fresh and juicy TRs, and more posts by Holdplease2 and her cool aid/technical climbing theses. I really enjoy her posts. Unless that's already her gig, she would make an excellent technical writer. We must be really bored when we have a whole thread dedicated to scatology, no less. That plate of whatever looked pretty gross. Looks like it's something that would give someone the runs rather than a stool. But hey, it's nature, so have at it with the fecal fascination. I think animal droppings are pretty interesting myself. I used to hang out at a local dairy when I was growing up in Sonoma, so am used to seeing and smelling the stuff. I can remember every year the air in the Valley Of The Moon would fill with the pungent odor of manure when the dairyman would spread it on their hay fields to fertilize them for next years crop. Miss that.

Seems like a vegetarian diet to me. (the other close up pic does not)
i would say a deer or gazelle's poop or similar.

Looks like a bear has been eating a strictly vegetarian diet to me. We have scat like this here in the spring in our high country when the snow is almost gone. I have a great picture to compare it to, but I do not know how to post pics yet. Also my pic is of grizz crap so the volume is a much larger pile. It definately is not goat, sheep, horse, elk, deer, moose, dog, or even Todd Gordons unruly manimal. I track and check scat a lot while hiking here and have seen many bear piles similar.
When you see a huge pile up here it is both good news and bad news when there is huckleberries in the pile. You could get eaten, but there are a buch of ripe huckleberries nearby.
