The day after I saw the bear, Miriam Skarin at cabin #7 found some bear scat in her yard. Her cabin is at the bottom of the gulch that starts at the Pack Station. We found some scat here too.On Tuesday, Sue had a man come up to fix the screen doors. While driving to Chantry, the repairman, Bruce Costantino - The Screen Bee, spotted a bear on the road in broad daylight. He managed to snap this photo about 3/4 mile down the road from the Pack Station. This appears to be smaller and younger than the bear I saw in the loading dock.
Our local ranger, Kevin Hunt, says that we may be seeing more bears in the front country this year because the high country is so dry. Cabin owners make sure you don't leave any garbage inside and campers make sure to hang your food.
