[at-l] Remember the bear story?

Yeah, I heard this story on NPR this am--be interesting to see if the local news stations have more on it tonight.  Poor bear.  

More proof that hospitals are unhealthy places...

Marsha,
	Hey thanks for spotting that follow up. I was hopeing more info would 
become available on that story.
	Here is another Bear story. This happened yesterday in the town of 
Rocky Mount, VA, ( which is between me and the AT ). A 300 pound bear 
walked right up to the automatic doors of the Hospital which of course 
opened up. He walked right in! After he went in a computer room the 
guards locked him in. The local constables killed the bear with minor 
damage to the computer room.

She appearently heard some sniffing around her bivy sack (which is a super small tent/sleeping bag) and then a second later found herself being dragged out of her bivy sack a good 20 feet or so by a black bear. It let her go and walked off eventually and did not maul her at all. Must have scared her to death though. I was told that she had not hung her food bag for the night, so it was in her bivy sack with her!! Ooops. Not a good idea."
