The Bear necessities!

Connie and I came across two bears during the day as we were camping. This one (The bigger of the two) was just cruising through the campgrounds and we happened to be nearby. The second one was smaller, but some unthinking campers didn’t use the provided bear lockers for their food and paid dearly as the bear had his way with everything they left out. He even destroyed a cooler that only had water in it. I guess once you get ‘em started they figure you are leaving them anything that’s lying around. The bears are not a threat, but they are wild and you need to respect their power. If you use the designated lockers then you have no need to fear. I guess the warnings all over the place and the lockers provided were not enough warning for those unlucky campers, but I bet you they will use them from now on!
