I did see one on the 2 track back into Beavehouse once, standing in the road trying to get a better look at our van.

  When Q-Dave was still in the outfitter business, he was driving me into BH when this huge brown bear crossed the road in front of us at full speed across an open section of woods.

Dave stopped the van and we both said " THAT was the biggest bear I've ever seen in CA!" Next year I bought/brought my UDAP Bear Spray which I still carry.

  You wouldn't beat THAT bear off with a stout stick of beaver wood, he'd be picking his teeth with it after he had you for lunch.  ;) ;D ;D
