In the public camp: 11:58 AM: a couple
with 2 children, teen age, are feeding
the mother with 1 blk & 1 brown cub, and
are enticing it upon the table in order
to get pictures. The children are ordered
& boosted about by the mother in order
to make them stand beside the bear,
which are on the table. The father
is warning them not to get too close,
or the mother is telling them to get
closer because there is no danger. They
had fed the bears with a few minutes
before. The picture is finally taken.
Dr. Oatler came from Old Faithful
to Thumls with Dr. Bynpax: They got
saw 17 black bears cubs between
Faithful & Thums. As Dr. Oatler & I
drove back to Mammoth we saw
about 8 more along the road,
exclusive of those in the settlements.
