The group had barely arrived when they had experiences they said made it all worthwhile. 
BurtGentle 12-year-old Burt showed up and calmly let a nurse take his heart rate (98). Then it was Bow’s 6-year-old son Drew, Lucy, and later Ethel and others…and word that One-eyed Jack has been spotted!
TedA scat showed why the bears have not been around as much as they could be. The scat was loaded with berries, including a favorite—wild sarsaparilla. A bush backed that up by being loaded with another favorite—juneberries. The bears are having a good year, and my worries about a late frost are relieved.
At the Bear Center, Ted is living the good life—as a Lily Fan captured in a photo.
