Bear in Evergreen

[Bailey Guns]

I was driving up Witter Gulch this morning about 10:25 and was near the top about 1/2 mile from Hwy 103. I saw what I thought was a bear statue at the end of someone's drive and realized it was a real bear. As I approached he took off a little ways into the trees so I parked on the side of the road at the end of the drive and shut off the truck. After a few minutes of hiding in the trees he came out and burglarized the trashcan.


As you can tell he's a pretty large bear. Those trash cans are probably 4 feet tall and his back was just about even with the top of the can.


I thought it was great how gentle he was about turning the can over and lowering it to the ground. I wonder what kind of goodies he made off with in that bag!

As I pulled away I passed the Mtn View Waste truck picking up the trash.
