#Philly So now that #coyotes are in the #Wissahickon people are acting like they are dealing with dangerous creatures you should watch out for. I was walking the other day and so guy yelled out and said "Sir! Just letting you know that someone saw a coyote up ahead". I thanked him but I grew up with coyotes around all my life. Don't try to befriend them, make sure they have a healthy fear of humans, if they try to approach yell or throw things in their direction (not at them) . They want nothing to do with humans if they can help it. What IS in danger is your pets, they are tasty coyote chow. If anything, coyotes being here has been great because I have had to deal with WAY less entitled dog owners who let their #dogs run free. This is dangerous to other hikers and other dog owners. Leash your damned dogs for their own safety and others!

Afternoon sunshine mixes with clouds along #Wissahickon Creek. There was a person fly fishing just outside the frame.

Did a ride through forbidden drive in the #Wissahickon today. Felt good to get a bit of gravel riding in before the snow. Took a turn up the valley green inn (east?) entrance and rode around chestnut hill without a plan. Felt good to wander around a bit, rather than just going out and back. Got some solid hill climbing after, cutting through bala over the manayunk bridge and all the way up leverington. NW #philly is a real treat. Those chestnut hill houses were absolutely gorgeous.
