Back to the Bears and Lake Tahoe
Our first, and only, sighting of a bear so far this season. We arrived at Eagle Point Campground, Emerald Bay State Park, Lake Tahoe on Monday, June 6 just 3 days before the campground would open for the season. We have heard of bear activity in the campground, but we have not personally seen any bears in the park this season, yet. The one we did see was in a residential neighborhood in South Lake Tahoe. It came off the front porch of one house, crossed the street behind us and climbed over a fence on the other side of the street. The bears do not want us, they want our food. They have gotten very bold at Sugar Pine Point State Park, 10 miles north, where my sister Theresa is a camp host this summer. She sees bears during the day on an almost daily basis. The following pictures were not taken by me, nor by Theresa, but she did witness these bears. Mom and cub as photographed by a camper at Sugar Pine Point State Park in early June.
