I guess its harder to keep up on MT news when I live in ME now...<br /><br />I'm definitely on the "Admire bears from VERY far away, and keep your food locked up tight while camping" side of the fence. <br /><br />I had too many close encounters when I was a kid to be stupid about them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05925777569861854546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910901195415494293.post-36060182658501920302010-07-30T11:29:52.219-06:002010-07-30T11:29:52.219-06:00You need to publish this blog post as an editorial...You need to publish this blog post as an editorial in your local newspaper!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910901195415494293.post-35063017853877681752010-07-29T16:27:34.598-06:002010-07-29T16:27:34.598-06:00The fear of creatures such as sharks and bears is ...The fear of creatures such as sharks and bears is sensible.

Learned early on to hoist all my food when camping, esp. marshmallows ;-), in a bag up hanging from a high tree branch. And no flavored lip gloss in the tent!Beth Groundwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13999372882748655834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910901195415494293.post-37743529329026156032010-07-29T07:16:46.519-06:002010-07-29T07:16:46.519-06:00Joanne -- No, I missed that story. Where was that?...Joanne -- No, I missed that story. Where was that? I know Yosemite has (or used to) a big problem with bears breaking into cars. Ironically, Yellowstone doesn't seem to have those problems and they have a whole lot more bears.<br /><br />Keats -- They come out of their usual areas for different reasons. For us, it was because we had a very late winter and their food sources are messed up. I've read that happens about every 7 years. Last year we had very few sightings. This year we've had a lot. It seems to come in spurts depending on how the weather is.Rena Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02328844122193024220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910901195415494293.post-46745020396304733942010-07-29T05:28:08.332-06:002010-07-29T05:28:08.332-06:00Am learning about bear country.

The dirver had left a peanut butter sandwich inside. Maybe you saw that story too. I'm pretty sure it was in the USA, but I can't remember the region now.joanne foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12694158807826275846noreply@blogger.com
