Today’s news reported from The Pine Tree:
Lots of Critters Down Low….Mamma Bear and Cub Just Above San Andreas |

Mountain Ranch, CA…We had a call this morning from a viewer that had a momma bear and her cub in his back yard on Michel Road between San Andreas and Mountain Ranch. There have been many, many mountain lion and now bear sightings at very low levels so be aware and don’t be surprised if you see mother nature up close and personal. |
Yikes! Just how close is “up close and personal?” Some of the local residents (like me) live 3 feet away from a forest. I suspect that would count as up close and personal. Especially when the forest is usually where they come from when they decide to go “down low”.
There goes my promise to start hiking every morning. I’d rather not get my daily exercise running from mountain lions, bears or whatever Oh My! that comes down the mountain.
I keep feeling like I’m starring in one of those “B” movies about a small town getting into a panic about an impending doom. Like fire. Wild animals. What-not. I don’t dare ask “what happens next?”
I heard some weird howly, growly sounds last night. I whispered to hubby, “do you think that’s a bear?”
“It sounds like a Yeti to me,” he whispered back.
