Default Bear Sighting

On our Rt 28 (Franklin) run..... near the end, at the park along the little stream...

We ran into a ferocious, wicked looking bear....






























Nobody wanted to get close to the bear in his "den"!!!

My understanding is that some "bears" were seen at the Saturday evening banquet....

Anyone get any pic's of them jumping up and down in the windows?
