Re: [RC] Bears on the trail - Barbara McCraryWhile I've not seen the bears on the Tevis trail, Grizzles in CA became extinct by the early 20th century. They lived right around here where I live, on the coast 60 miles S of San Francisco. There are two notable stories of locals who were 1) killed (in 1875) and 2) maimed for life (in 1865) by the California Grizzly. I just hope someone doesn't come up with the hare-brained idea of re-introducing Grizzlies to the local state park where they roamed when the man was killed. A more stupid idea I could not think of, considering the park is a haven for hikers, horseback riders and bicyclists.Barbara ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sisu West Ranch" <ranch@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>; <Sheila_Larsen@xxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, April 14, 2008 5:11 PM Subject: Re: [RC] Bears on the trail Am I right in assuming that the bears on the Tevis Trail are black bears not Griz? It makes a big difference. The two species react completely differently to human contact and the proper reaction to an attack is also very different. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
