Yesterday, Saturday, for the Big Dog’s birthday we took Zeke and headed up to the high country looking for snow. It was sad how long it took us to get there (the snow levels being so meager this year), but once we arrived it was a brisk and invigorating day. Most exciting was the bear we saw on the way up. I was looking out the car window and, suddenly, down below the highway on Salmon Creek (tributary of the North Fork of the Yuba River) on the edge of the water was a real live bear. I’ve rarely seen one in the wild and this one was a beauty.

Does anyone know what type of bear this is?
