Bernie, I gave the link of your recent pictures to a muggle friend of mine that was going north on a trip and when she came back she sent me a photograph of a sign at the Fort Steel Campground in B.C. Below is what it said, read all of the way to the end. P.S. Bernie take special note of what this sign says about encountering bears, like in your pictures. WARNING Due to the frequency of human-bear encounters, the B.C. Fish and Wildlife Branch is advising hikers, hunters, fishermen and any persons that use the out of doors in a recreational or work related function to take extra precautions while in the field. We advise the outdoorsman to wear little noisy bells on clothing so as to give advance warning to any bears that might be close by so you don?t take them by surprise. We also advise anyone using the out-of-doors to carry ?Pepper Spray? with him in case of an encounter with a bear. Outdoorsmen should also be on the watch for fresh bear activity, and be able to tell the difference between black bear feces and grizzly bear feces. Black bear feces is smaller and contains lots of berries and squirrel fur. Grizzly bear shit has bells in it and smells like pepper. Bernie <happykraut@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Thanks, Bridget. I am overwhelmed with yard work. I've been out in the rain pulling weeds and cutting down limbs. Bernie -- On Fri Jul 25 08:43:53 CDT 2008, "Bridget E.
