Right next door to our campground is Bear Country. This is one of those drive through wild animal preserves. You drive up to the gates, pay your admission fee and drive right in. Following the road we came across wolfs, elk, and bears. Lots and lots of bears. The elk stand right in the middle of the road and sometimes block the road to where a worker has to come out and chase them away to unblock traffic. You wouldn’t want to upset them in anyway because they have a rack on their head as wide as your car and could probably do some damage. The bear area is similar with bear walking down and crossing the road all around your car. There must be 100 bear in this area. Their in the dens, in the water, rubbing up against the trees and like I said walking right down the middle of the road. I guess it was too hot for the Buffalo because we could see them huddled up in the shade a distance from the road. After the drive through, you have an opportunity to get out of your car and walk around some pens where you can see badgers (snarley mean little buggers), cats of all sorts, and baby bears. The baby bears were of course the main attraction. This was a lot of fun.
