Canyoneering Bears

This was on the front page of the paper here today. Apparently this black bear got herself stuck in a keeper pothole over the weekend, with no way out until some hikers found her and threw some logs down in for a ladder.

Wow, what a hiking discovery! Sorry about my off handed Forest Service comment on my blog. The Forest Service property near our cabin is no where near your jurisdiction or I'm sure it would be better taken care of. It is located up Huntington Canyon near Millars Flat. The picture was taken at Potters Pond, but the dead/diseased trees are like that everywhere up there. I am not particularly disturbed by dead trees until they start to outnumber the living ones and as you said, there is nothing natural about the current infestation of bettle kill. As I commented, my Dad worked for the Forest Service most of his life and even in his eyes, that many diseased and dead trees is just poor management. Thanks for the comment. By the way, dispite our differences, Dave and I think you guys are pretty great people.
