We often climb the hill as part of our morning walk but had never had the pleasure of meeting His Majesty!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Several overseas visitors had also wondered how this creature had gotten to the Lookout. Was he the new mascot? The local Lion\u2019s Club representatives we contacted said they knew nothing about this visiting lion. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">When we returned to the Lookout the next day, the lion had vanished. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We would love to know the story behind the Lion at the Lookout. Can anyone help us fill in the blanks? Until then, the mystery continues. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Kathy Hunter<br \/>\nHuntsville<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-52820 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-gallery-block'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/have-you-spotted-the-elusive-lion-at-lions-lookout\/20151103_102844\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"214\" height=\"140\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2018\/07\/20151103_102844-214x140.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-gallery-block size-gallery-block\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/have-you-spotted-the-elusive-lion-at-lions-lookout\/20151103_103058\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"214\" height=\"140\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2018\/07\/20151103_103058-214x140.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-gallery-block size-gallery-block\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl>\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!
