Description
[Post] Crossed the road from left to right with an apple in its mouth. After coming down from a small brush, it climbed the mountain. The apples that had not been disturbed until yesterday were eaten along the roadside this morning, and just after joining the main road the bear ran a short distance. The sighting was prompted by unnaturally placed apple baskets in the neighboring orchard.
