After yesterday and the long hike, we decided to take at easy. We hiked the Beaver Hike which was just outside of the park. It was a very windy hike and also deserted. We walked a loop through trees and high grass just like the area where we saw the three bears the time before. We only saw one other couple on the hike.
The other couple blew a whistle. This upset Debbie because Larry carries a whistle and she thinks it is a warning for bears. Of course, it wasn’t obvious so Debbie kept searching for bears until the other three explained the whistle dynamics.
They visited the historic ranger station from the 1910’s (actually just set on the porch). The original ranger’s wife from the 1910’s told stories of a mountain lion in the attic, skunks in the basement and black bears that would shred the laundry hanging on the the line. After reading those stories, Debbie was ready to get in the car.
Travel Tip: Know who has the whistle.
