Spence Field Shelter 182.9

First of all: No bears!! :( At least we didn't see them but we heard them at night doing weird noises close to the tent. Other than that we had quite some free time at the Shelter which we used to eat more than usual. And we also had great fun with the people staying at the Shelter.
Ridge runner Morgan confirmed the coconut oil story. So last year in May there was a man tenting in some distance above the shelter. He hung all of his odorous items properly but used some coconut scented sunscreen. In the night he woke up to a bear biting in his leg through the tent. It wasn't a hard bite more like testing where that delicious smell came from... So the man wasn't injured badly but because of this incident three bears were shot as no DNA match could be done.
Use your brain, save bears!Read more
