Location
Description
Observed a bear slowly walking north along the river-management road (the road on top of the embankment). The bear noticed a small pickup truck that came from the south and slowly entered the riverside brush. The river area is unmanaged and the brush is thick, so it was impossible to determine how the bear moved after that. The bear’s body length appeared to be about 1.4 m.
