Dear Marc-

We forgive you for not getting a picture of the bear! :eek:

Would you do anything differently next time not to attract it to you?

(Wanting to learn about bear encounters from others' experiences...)

Mark,

I thought I had taken the proper precautions to preserve the Trout I had caught. I packaged up the fish and put them in my home made bear proof box that has served me well untill this instance. This paticular bear was very persistant, and after his third time back at my camp he managed to get it open. I highly recomend that if your in "Bear Country" and their are Bear proof lockers around you use them.

Great pictures! BTW - did you have any food in the camper? Was the bear only attracted to food containers left out?

Great pics and trip report Marc.

Love the black & whites of the ghost towns. Looks like a chilly first morning in Lone Pine. It sounds like you ate well. You can't blame the bear for looking for leftovers. :)

Thanks Marc,

Really nice black and whites;) . Bodie pictures come to life in black and white.

These are digital captures and then changed to B/W in camera or PS? Have not done this with my Canon 5D or in Photoshop yet, but if I found a scene that B/W would do it better justice I sure would give it a shot.
