Took a ride this afternoon and added to my knowledge about bears. I was riding the trail across from the pond going north and within 5 minutes saw a bear crossing ahead. I stopped and watched while mother with 3 cubs slowly crossed without seeing me. What a show they put on. I figured I knew where they were so I continued past where they crossed. Another 5 minutes I was on the return ride and came upon another bear just about to cross at the same spot. This one saw me and was deciding what to do so I stopped and began a stare down (with shouting) that was broken up by another rider that luckily spooked the bear. Must have been a 2 year old that Mom was trying to run off. Happy ending to my ride today. Be careful on the trails.
