May 21, 2001 - Bear Alert! 

We have several reports of a bear coming into Standing Indian Shelter.
The bear is reported to have taken down packs in the shelter while it was
occupied, and taken the packs away. It also has taken food from the
shelter.
The Forest Service knows about this, but has no definite plans at present
about this bear. The same bear (we think) is taking food and causing
problems at Standing Indian Campground.

We recommend hanging packs and food where the bear can't get them.
