Bears!

My wife and I joined the local volksmarching club (Falcon Wanderers) in October 2011.

On one of our first walks we saw some strange looking animals near a house with a big yard (less than 50 yards from the street).

There were 4 brown bears relaxing and scratching their backs on the trees in the yard. On the return route there was a sow and 2 cubs in the yard.

Never know what you'll find in the city if you slow down and take a close look.
