Tahoe Campers Can Expect Guests

        The Mayor went hiking in Sugar Pine Pt. park the other day. It was quiet with few camp sites occupied. That will change today as the long weekend begin. Because the 4th falls on Tuesday, not every worker will have Monday and Tuesday off.

      The park and its camp sites often have wild life visitors; local bears who have learned that campers bring lots of food with them-easy pickins'. Each site has a steel locker to keep such edibles in securely closed to thwart the efforts of all bruins and their sensitive noses. Our neighbors around Tahoma are frequently visited by black bears-see foto

Big Momma and Cubby

     These bears are W I L D animals. Thus, are unpredictable; can be dangerous, can outrun humans; can't see very well, can smell a pack of gum in your car; are incredibly strong; roam around night and day; constantly forage for food, especially during the summer season; and are very, very protective of their offspring. The Momma bears can be very aggressive when a human approaches cubs.
