When day-hiking in that area last year, a rather large bear loped across the 
road near Robin Bird Spring (map F6). In checking the register about 1/2 mile 
north of the spring, there had been three bear reports (from different 
hikers) in 4 days. I assume we had/have a resident bear in that area. Hikers 
should act accordingly.
