Hi All,
Our four work days went by quickly. Sunday we spent the morning at a "Bear Jam" where a female black bear and two cubs were up in a tree near the road. No pictures but we did get to watch the cubs nursing between keeping the traffic flowing and keeping people from getting too close.
Monday we spent four hours with this beautiful bull moose, feeding right next to the road. After we got the traffic moving, the moose wandered across the meadow within 50 yards of the Visitor Center on the way to the river.
Tuesday was more moose jams and campground patrols looking for items that might attract bears. We had dinner with Jim & Marilyn, enjoying the great onion soup Kim made.
Wednesday was our "Back Country" day when we hike along the trails promoting bear awareness and answering general visitor questions. This week we hiked around Jenny Lake with a stop at Hidden Falls. It was a total of about seven miles but we were sustained by views like this
and this.
This fresh pile of bear scat right in the middle of trail reminded us to stay alert
We knew bears were in the area but we didn't see any.
Life is good, Love,
Sandy & Carl
