hehehe... roger that. Yahknow... I *have* seen bear tracks on the beach right in front. Last time was a couple of years ago, though. Looked like the tracks of a young adult Black bear. Black bears are mostly harmless, he was probly just looking for a quick route to his favorite berry bushes.
It's da Grizzlies that you gotta watch out fer... and we don't see those over here on the peninsula. They're pretty much only up in the upper Cascades and northern from there.
