I met a black bear on a ledge trail while trail riding. (1957 year) ... I had no way to turn around. Was running a no muffler exhaust at that time. Raced the engine up and down to raise a lot of noise. After a few minutes the bear decided to climb up the hillside. Stood behind a tree and would peek around to see me. I departed in a hurry. Had a camera but did not think it wise to pause and take photos. This was in Colorado. WW

I haven't seen them, but the neighbors have warned me about them several times - trying to scare me, I think. I thought the sign was funny - I might just put up something similar. Right next to my "no tree huggers permitted on trails" sign. JayC

I thought it was a gaggle of geese? brood of bears sounds better but I think that's limited to vipers (old testament types) anyhow as far as bears go one is more than enough john life is not a Disney movie

It went something like this: "Aaaaaaaaaaaagggghhhhhhhhaaahhhaaaahhhh!" I think it was Ben? I sure wish I was going this year, bears or not. Craig |
