A bear came by yesterday while I wasn't looking.
Then how do I know?
... because the bear likes to roll over boulders that are about a foot in diameter as he searches for edible insects.
... and yesterday I found a bunch of rolled over boulders.
Case closed.
In other news: it just sprinked a bit. This has pasted down the thick layers of Ponderosa pine pollen. That should close out the pine pollen season at this altitude. However, I can see that the wind is still kicking up the pine pollen on the north flanks of Thorodin.
