I can't believe we're having this thread again....it was one of my
favorites! OK, Skip come on over to the campfire and tell us a couple of
bear stories. Just like in Lion King when the Hyena's are teasing each
other, "Mufasa....ohhhh....scary...say it again."

I read this in our local news paper this week. No kidding. I know I posted
this on other list, but since bears are a hot topic here, I'll post it here
too.

Bears blamed in hiker death in Smokies
Black bears apparently killed a woman waiting for her ex-husband Sunday on a
trail in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park near Gatlinberg, Tenn.
Glenda Ann Bradley, 50, of Cosby, an elementary school teacher, entered the
park with Ralph Hill, 52, with whom she was reconciling.
Hill told authorities he left Bradley on the trail to go fishing and
returned an hour later to find her backpack on the trail and two black
bears - an adult female and a yearling - at her body about 50 yards away.
Hill said he yelled at the bears and threw stones. Another hiker ran to the
nearest ranger station to get help. When three rangers arrived, they found
the bears standing over the body, District Ranger Keny Slay said. The
rangers killed the animals.
An autopsy was planned to determine if she died of other causes before the
attack or because of the attack.
