Bears on the Cumberland Plateau.
« on: October 20, 2009, 08:59:11 AM »
It's hiking season again and I just read the Bear Notice at the FRIENDS OF SOUTH CUMBERLAND STATE RECREATION AREA, INC website.  http://www.friendsofscsra.org/

Be aware if go into these areas. If you don't go into these areas, you should!

Bear Notice.

Wherever the standard of freedom and Independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will her heart, her benedictions and her prayers be.

But she goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy.

She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all.

She is the champion and vindicator only of her own.

I heard that on the news this time last year. They keep migrating further and further West.

Black bear have also been spotted around the Fall Creek Falls area and unfortunately, are being shot and dumped along the side of the roads. No wonder "hunters" sometimes get a bad rap.
I'm going backpacking in the Firey Gizzard this weekend. Thanks for the heads up Mike!

Man that sounds like like fun Brady! The fall colors should be going good by then.
