I forgot to report- on my way down the hill from Hemlock on my way to
fish Spring Creek last Friday (8/5) I spotted a bear! It was walking
up the road about 1/2 the way from the entrance to Hemlock Acres to
Penn's Creek. I stopped along side it and it moved quickly into the
woods (on the side away from the campground). I got out, looked at the
bear about 30 yards away, opened the back of my SUV to get my camera
but by the time I got it, he/she was gone!
That was my first PA bear sighting!

Stick around Hemlock for a while and it probably won't be your last.

I thought that the bear would have at least hung around long enough to
get directions to Frank's cooler.

Directions I'd be happy to provide any time I'm not cocooned next to it.


On a somewhat more serious note......

What are the odds that someone might actually get mauled by a bear at a
campground in central Pennsylvania......one in a million?......one in ten
million? The trouble with probabilities is that the **** doesn't need to
wait till the ten millionth event to hit the fan. Given the number of
reported bear sightings, I'd say Hemlock Acres is a ****ing tragedy just
waiting for the right opportunity.
