Well it has been another week and it has actually flown by. It is getting very busy at the entrance station so that makes the day go fast. It is alot of fun and everybody is so happy to be here. I am able to joke around with the people so it makes it more interesting. The big question always seems to be, "Where are the bears". I think people forget this is a National Park and they are wild animals. We don't have them in a certain area. They have 2.2 million acres to wander around on. It gets kind of funny hearing it, but like I said I can joke back about it. Sadly a young bear cub was hit and killed on the road. People do not abey the 45 MPH speed limit. In this incident a car had stopped to let the bear cross, another car coming up behind passed the stopped car and hit and killed the bear cub.
My one focus this week has been to find new hiking partners. This is such a beautiful place and so many wonderful hikes to go on, however I cannot go alone because of the bears. You would think there would be a ton of hiking groups around here like there is in Charlotte but not so. I did need to get a little creative to find them but I have now hooked up with a group who also had people in it that are working here at YNP so now I am in touch with them. Going on a my first hike with the group Tuesday and looking forward to it. The wildflowers are in full bloom here so it will be even more beautiful.
Until Next Time!
