Them Bears Out There

This young bear emerged from its winter resting a couple of weeks ago. That statement is based on reports from visitors and fellow Volunteer Interpretive Rangers who patrol the Laurel Falls trail in order to keep the bears safe from the visitors. No, really. S/he appears healthy and new to these long periods of sleep, and waking up from them, and all those "two legged animals" standing around staring and pointing. Maybe s/he's wondering "hmmmmm? wonder what they taste like, I'll ask mom when she gets up."
