Now don't get me wrong, I am and have always been captivated with trains and more so with Caboose's and engines. I also plan on taking the picture and posting the picture meant for today, tomorrow.
You see the unexpected find today for my picture(s) for today could not wait.
Walking down Ash Street I see a crowd gathering by a pick up truck. Camera in hand I went to do a check it out thing.
Below was my find.
I am not a hunter but our area is prime from what I have been told.
There was quite a crowd gathered by this truck, and trust me when I say I would have loved to take more pictures and ask PLENTY more questions.
A brown bear, this is considered enormous in size for these parts as far as a kill goes by what was told to me. Greenville, Ca. is where this took place. Greenville is 21 miles from here by way of going around Lake Almanor.
I myself have only seen 2 bears since I have lived up here which is pushing 30 years. One was right at Lake Almanor and was above my head on a mountain (more a hill) . I also did a TOTALLY foolish thing that time. I ran! Dumb, dumb and dumber. I was 21 years old at the time and pregnant with my son Travis. I believe the only reason he did not give chase is I was running right towards the lake and the campground which was full of people. Another time I was by Duck Lake not far from here at all and out cutting wood. This brown bear literally just meandered right by me. He was so close and acted as if he had never even seen me (which probably kept my wits about me) which I am SURE could not be farther from the truth.But I tell ya what ! Neither of those bears were anywhere near as big as this bear is/was!
YIKES!!!
