The bear incident

We were driving down the road from Truckee on our way home from Tahoe, just sightseeing getting settled in for the long trip home when Terry says...."Hey, I just saw a bear". We were right along I80 so I thought he had seen a rock shaped like a bear, but he stopped and backed up and sure enough it was a bear, right at the edge of the road. Melissa got her camera out and was taking some awesome shots.

Then he picked something up and started to carry it off. It was so cool
He stood on his hind legs to pick the carcass up to carry it. It was a dead buck deer with horns. As we watched with the windows down you could hear him crunching the bones as he tore off bits to eat. Some moron tourist got out of her car and stood between our truck and the bear to take pictures. I commented out the window that if I were her I wouldn't get much closer, cause the bear may try to protect his dinner. What an idiot....this isn't disneyland.
