a bear crosses the street - scared the hell out of me and what do stupid people in their cars do - stop and watch.....

Me and a friend had a HUGE bear cross right infront of us over by Merrill Creek resevour. Gix750 had 2 400lb.ers in his yard today.....unfortunately he was too busy crapping his shorts to get pics. I had one running beside me leaving his house about a month ago.

We had a black bear running down the road behind our house on Tuesday morning. My neighbors were freaking out and it ended up in someone's backyard checking out the camping gear they had airing out in their yard.

We never saw any when we lived there and this is the first one by our house that I've heard of. But, I'm thinking it wont be the last one.
