I just read Stumpknocker's post for June 11 and June 12 and he mentions seeing ALLOT of Bears in the vicinity of Elkwallow Wayside (north & south of it).
My question is:
Do other people see allot of bears in that same area?
I see bears there every year especially when I am hiking or driving early in that area.
I have a thought about the countless bears in this area:
Located within a few miles of Elkwallow Wayside is Mathews Arm campground (Skyline Drive milepost 22.1), so is it possible that this campground attracts these bears?
OR
is there another reason that you can give that would explain this seemingly large number of bears in this area?
Skyline (aka Jim A.), I am curious about your thoughts on this subject.
