>    Penelope Manning recalled a Mount Rainier camping trip
>where her dad, who liked to sleep in, even in the woods,
>refused to be rousted from his Army surplus bag. ""Go chase a
>bear up a tree,'' he growled at his kids, who were
>about 4 and 2 at the time.

>    So they did. It was a cub, and the mother bear, nearby,
>apparently felt that small people were not a threat, so she
>didn't bother to defend her young.

>back to tell her dad. ""That got him out of bed,'' she said.
