Went up Mt Wilson Trail this evening and scored BOOTY from the trailhead terror campaign!
La femme did insist on taking a can of bear spray along.
"But I already took a shower this week!"

The little woman talked to a deputy at Bailey Canyon. He said they never found a bear, so it looks like they got away.

Heard on the radio this morning that DFG people believe that hiker actually got between a sow and her cub. Given that, they believe the bear's actions as normal, and will take no further action in regards to tracking and euthanization.

My neighbor, who is privy to all sorts of local beta, just told me the same. That doesn't jive
with the hiker's story of two big bears unless it was a case of a kid that wouldn't leave.

Hmm. I heard just the opposite. One of the news people on the radio said that the DFG found a bear, and euthanized it.

Investigators from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) have concluded the investigation of a bear attack on a Southern California man last Monday. CDFW is unable to confirm the current location of the bear. No further efforts will be made to trap and/or euthanize the bear.
“If it was a mother bear and her young, and the hiker came between the two through no fault of his own, it was just bad luck for them both,” said CDFW Senior Environmental Scientist Rick Mayfield. “We are very thankful the individual’s injuries were not life-threatening, and fortunately, he will recover.”
