    The best hike one with no surprises. We just have to deal with coyotes, for the most part. Have you ever run into one while hiking? A bear, that is.

    Uh….. what’s a bear bell?

      Make noise on the trail so you do not surprise a bear while out hiking. A surprised bear can ruin a good hike.

      Lots of black bears around here. They prefer to stay out of your way, so you just want to let them know you are on the trail.

    If you’re going to wear it, make it count!

    Bet the bear is glad to have the warning that the Herd is on the march.

    I wonder if Rusty was a drum major in another life.

      What a great image. We had never thought of that, but makes a lot of sense to us.
