Don’t feel bad. I didn’t know they were in our state until I looked it up a few minutes ago. We like to camp over there too. Fortunately, there are no Grizzly’s where I live, Port angeles.
But we do have Black Bear and Cougars on my mountain. I’ve heard a cougar in the wooded area of my property, sounds like a woman screaming. I have never seen one here but a neighbor has. I have only found bear droppings and tracks... they like my berries.
I want to go camping some more... I hate winter! ;>)
From your name, I gather you are from the south?
I’m from south Florida originally, but have been in Seattle for the last 51 years or so. Dang, that makes me sound old!
I’m in Burien.
