Tahoe Black Bear 3

Originally uploaded by RickC.

We went up to Tahoe this week and took one of our favorite hikes. We walked five miles up above Carnelian Bay on the North Shore on a loop hike we know that includes a section of the rim trail. With two dogs we didn’t see so much as a blue jay. On our way back to the car we saw this young bear at the corner of Carnelian Woods Drive and Carnelian Way, just a couple hundred feet from the highway, North Lake Blvd. He was looking for goodies and that is found where people are, I guess. Quite a thrill and I hope he doesn’t get into trouble.
