Mr. Bear dines out at Mountain View

Dear Editor:

I am sending you these pictures taken Sunday the 11th of August in the playground at Mountain View School.  Just so no one thinks Mr. Bear returned to clean up after himself, I will tell you my husband and I did the job. That trash can has been full for at least a week, probably far longer, with pizza crusts, noodle packs, chicken bones, diapers and other lovely noshable goodies just perfect for luring bears.

Thanks for your attention,
