Grandma and the bear

[GTRS Fiero]

My parents are out camping in some remote areas.  Today, my kids received their weekly letter from my mother.  Among other items, the letter detailed a humorous story.  Apparently, my parents had planned to camp at a particular campground.  Around the campground there are lots of berries.  Things were going well, until my mother discovered one or more complacent bears having lunch.  My parents retreated to a different park, with a different campground and no berries.

Good move on their behalf.  Five or 6 years ago, there was a family camping in Tennessee, near the 96 Olympic White Water Venue.  A bear got into their tent at night and killed the mother and son.

She didn't take a picture.  Apparently, she went and hid in the car, then called my dad.  He had to decamp, including hitching up the camper.

This is the season to see bears.  A similar thing happened some years ago.  I don't remember if it was Yellowstone, or Yosemite.  This time, it was somewhere around Glacier Park.

I mounted my bear.  Actually, no, that isn't true.  My bear was confiscated.  I bought someone else's bear.

  that's Still Better than Being Mounted By A Bear.    there is a farm here that the owner Has A Lion, ATiger, And A Bear that Are Very Frendly And the Three Live Togeather.    I will Stop Short of Saying they Are Domesticated, Maybe Well Fed.

A friend of mine had 2 bear cubs as pets.  It was fun to watch them run and play.  Not only did the cubs eat a lot, but they also grew a LOT.  The cubs were never tied.  They came when called, and obeyed simple commands.  I lost touch with the guy after my kids refused to go there, some years ago.

Growing up, a lady up the road had a wolf.  He was far from domesticated, and was usually caged.
