3mi NNE Canyon, 8400 ft Yellowstone
Park, Wyo.
Sep 8 1967
went right on lueling -- all at 30yds.
In evening was setting traps in this
area & came on him again he's as
tame as a cow.
In mid afternoon a & black bear
with large cub came through camp.
They checked all parking places
for food. I took pictures & finally
recreated into camper & shut door
when she came to within
2' of the back bumper. I thought
she was going to detect the skulls
drying in a small pine so I
threw a small rock & hit her
on the head. She ran off 30-40
yds & slowed to a walk, then I
shot her in rears end with sling
shot & she really took off. Junior
running to keep up.
It's real cloudy I hear thunder
in distance -- broo at 8:20 P.M.
The tourists are really thinning
out now. Many places in the park
are now closed with others
closing this week end.
