Today on one of the walks around the campground 2 ladies were standing not far from the dumpster where I had a “close encounter”. One of them asked Bob “where do the bears live?”? I almost doubled over laughing as he explained that they did not have little houses they lived in and there were lots of woods out there where they sleep wherever they want. She seemed OK with that when the next thing she asked was “have you seen any eagles?” Again I had to fight hysterical laughing as we both explained to them the nests on the roadway and the eagles that are down at the boat launch when we both just wanted to say “have you looked up”?

The bears like these berriesFireweed
Fireweed blooms from the bottom to the top. They say when it gets to the top summer is over.This pink got to close to a seal. He went on Steve's smoker.
These eagles pictures were taken about 9:30 pm. One with a flash and one without.
"What did you say? I can't hear you!"
One of two collared bears. The fish run has been very slow. The bigger bears are still back at the back of the lake where the fish are spawning.
This one got spooked by people and swam across the river.
