[at-l] Re:Bears
Saw alot of bear droppings just north of Pass Mtn Hut is the SNP during a
day hike in June 1995 but never saw a bear during my 1996 thru-hike, except
in Bear Mtn Zoo in New York. But I will say that there were alot of
mention in the registers about bears & cubs along the trail. Good luck
with your hike,
