After portaging from Eddy to Knife our group stopped to check out the first campsite to the west. On the fire grate was a hand written message on the piece of paper. WARNING Bear seen in camp 9/11/18. “Scared off “, then came back no more than 10 minutes later. Do Not stay. He is not social to you. Be Safe. We paddled out and found another campsite further down the lake. The bear was not sited. I would like to thank the person who wrote the message. I’ve had a few bear encounters and given the warning did not want another one. Any one else have a run in with this bear? |

Zwater: "Uh oh. Is that note considered LNT:)" Lol, someone had to say it. I called the ranger station to tell them about the bear and they were happy that we left a note. So I guess bear notes are an acceptable LNT violation according to the forest service. |
