Sounds like first thought was oh cool a bear not oh crap a bear.. Maybe the bear has been there awhile and nothing was on TV so he went for a walk and now everyone wants him to move

Not that any timing is good, but holiday weekend will be bad for everyone (those going and those there hoping for the biz)...sucky

I have a friend that owns Daniel Boone Trading Post, she is usually on top of the news in the area so I will let
everyone know the status updates. I'm sure
the bear wasn't planning to attack anyone if left alone, they just need their space like all of us. You can always direct people to the Narrows, Widowmaker
and Carb Hill, I'm sure that would be a great hike, plenty of trails in that direction.
