Can you say ice?


Can you say runnels?


More rain to come in the next couple of days--it won't be nice.

Beautiful day today, tho.  We found we crossed tracks in the clouds with a bear and 2 cubs yesterday, evidently scared them on our way back from Stevens Canyon, they went down across the river and up toward the ridge above Edith Basin.

Andy--I'd like to know more about the bear tracks--will you be around today for a call?

Mother bear and cub passed this way on their way to Stevens Canyon, evidently a little after we went this direction to Stevens Canyon yesterday.


Cub number 2 paralleling our ski track from yesterday.


But she and the cub turned around here when they heard us coming back from Stevens Canyon and all 3 bears headed down across the Paradise River to ridge above Edith Basin--must not have been very hungry.
