[pct-l] Reno to Alpine Meadow; bear can?



Lotsa bears in that part of the country. We were up in Barker Pass and up 
above Tahoe going at one of the trailheads going into desolation last week. 
We had a bear who was so curious about the goats he jumped up onto a log to 
see better and when the goat bluff charged him, he fell off the log and did 
a face plant right in front of us.

Then pulled himself together, jumped down in the creek and tried to jump out 
the other side and fell into the creek again. I thought bears were fast and 
graceful. I think this one's name is Boo Boo.

We got pictures, I hope they turn out. I was guarding with the bear spray 
while my partner took photos but we were both laughing so hard they may not 
come out.

Don't know what the regs are but a bear can made us sleep better.
