Well, we have the "Touring Pics" thread and now the "Bear Pics" thread!
I didn't have to take a bike trip in Montana to get my photo. This mom posed for me right outside my back door in NH. Two cubs are in a tree nearby. She returned the next day and started tearing up my entry steps to get to a hornet's nest. Taken in a hurry so it's a little out of focus ...
Yes
pdlamb, the hornets were more of a threat than the bear!
