点评:This is a wonderful campground with large sites and many amenities. I have enjoyed camping there over the past three decades. One thing was different this past trip of two weeks and that was a bear we were warned about when at the check-in booth (tagged on the left ear). This might be of concern to some folks planning to camp there.
This bear seemed to live in the hollow end of a large fallen tree behind our campsite (194). The first night she stared at me as she started her evening campground rounds (still daylight). I smiled back at her and also waved. The next night she decided to cruise thru our campsite while we again were enjoying a nice evening campfire. She sniffed everything and went on to the next campsite. She found nothing at either campsite, so she then went on her way. A week later a large group of folks came in and used the two adjoining campsites.
One evening while they were finishing dinner, the bear decided to join them and confiscated a large bag of waste that they were collecting to put into the bear proof dumpster shortly. We were close by and snapped a few photos of the event (see below). The bear is quite friendly and doesn't harm anyone. She even layed down and ate the scraps, etc. feeling like a part of the group. When the scraps were gone, she climbed up on top of their table!
This bear was around quite a bit and I captured photos here and there that might be of interest to those who have camped at Fallen Leaf Lake Campground in the past. This bear was the friendliest bear I have ever seen there. Neither this bear or any other at the campground have been known to want more than some food if they can "confiscate" it.
The ordinance regarding food and waste storage is also attached. The bear was ignoring the ordinance and not supposed to be raiding food and scraps during daylight hours.
Last year (same two weeks) were hit with Hurricane Hilliary. This year the excitement was the "friendly" bear during our two week stay there in late August.
翻译:这是一个很棒的露营地,场地很大,设施齐全。过去三十年来,我一直很享受在那里露营。在过去两周的旅行中,有一件事不同寻常,那就是我们在登记处时被警告有熊(左耳上有标签)。这可能会让一些计划在那里露营的人感到担忧。
这只熊似乎住在我们营地(194)后面一棵倒下的大树的空心端。第一天晚上,当她开始巡视营地时(天还亮),她盯着我看。我对她笑了笑,也向我挥了挥手。第二天晚上,当我们再次享受美好的篝火晚会时,她决定在我们的营地里巡视。她嗅了嗅所有的东西,然后去了下一个营地。她在两个营地都找不到,所以她就走了。一周后,一大群人进来使用了两个相邻的营地。
一天晚上,当他们吃完晚餐时,熊决定加入他们,没收了他们正在收集的一大袋垃圾,准备将其放入防熊垃圾箱。我们在附近拍了几张照片(见下文)。这只熊很友好,不会伤害任何人。她甚至躺下来吃剩饭剩菜等,感觉自己是这个群体的一部分。吃完剩饭剩菜后,她爬上了他们的桌子!
这只熊经常出现,我到处拍了一些照片,这些照片可能会引起过去在 Fallen Leaf Lake 露营地露营的人的兴趣。这只熊是我在那里见过的最友好的熊。无论是这只熊还是露营地的其他熊,只要能“没收”食物,它们都不会想要更多。
还附上了有关食物和废物储存的条例。这只熊无视条例,不应该在白天抢夺食物和残羹剩饭。
去年(同样的两周)遭受了希拉里飓风的袭击。今年,让我们兴奋的是我们在八月底的两周逗留期间遇到了“友好的”熊。
