We had a bear come into the park on Thursday. It was in the other campground and then wandered into a vacant site here near the lake. It then went down to the water and then back up here walking down the road as if there was nothing going on. It was about 4 feet tall on all 4 paws. They figured it weighed about 150 lbs. We called the Conservation Officer for Mille Lacs and they came however most assumed it just got lost and was gone for good. I guess since the berries aren't ripe yet they don't have any food.
The CO's made light of it and joked that he was looking for a picanic basket!
So we thought nothing of it and went about our business. But we did visit each site and notify them to make sure they put all their food in their vehicles and not to leave their dogs out.
Very interesting. This is the first time we have seen a live bear in the wild.
