Straight from the Anchorage Daily News:
"City officials say there is 'a high probability of encountering a brown bear on this trail' and are urging people to 'avoid using Rover's Run under any circumstances'."
...hmmm sounds like a good place to be!
They went on to say, "The majority of the trail users are bicyclists who are more likely to encounter a bear because they move quickly and quietly."
I found this article in yesterday's paper and looked it up on the Anchorage Daily News website. Here's the sighting caught on a surveillance camera: I have still yet to see a bear or even a wolf at that matter. Once I go climbing, I'm sure I'll see some from afar off. There is all sorts of news like this every day up here though, it's common, but it's still uncommon enough to make the papers. Kind of like shootings in Omaha, but it's wildlife in Anchorage, okay so maybe not...
