Mother Bear With Cubs

   Camp Menzies, the Girl Schout Camp in Camp Connell had surprise visitors yesterday, as a Mother Bear and two cubs came to visit (or more likely to see what they had to eat).
   This is a bad year for the bears, as there is so much disturbance of the forest, clear-cutting, slash and burning for CHIPS, etc., not to mention they have to go further for water.
   There was no indication that the bears bothered anyone, but don't be surprised if you see them around looking for a meal and especially water. A mother bear with cubs should be avoided.

   Can anyone remember bears visiting you as a Girl Scout at Camp Menzies back in the 50's?
