I’ve heard a lot of bear stories from all around Gold Hill – everyone really needs to take care – this one is from Jeff Fishbaugh  jeff.fishbaugh@nullopencreek.net

Just an FYI for those along Lickskillet. I saw a pretty good size bear just below Brookhart’s and below the the Red Store on 9/14 about 20 after 9pm. Probably would have been about midway between Val Crist’s and the Red Store. Darted off into woods on my passing. None the less close to town so be ever so mindful of not keeping food or trash in their reach to attract them. They’ll keep coming back so long as there is something around to eat.
