While out driving in the woods in eastern Tehama County back in 2006, I came across a family fishing on Battle Creek who were waving their arms and flagging me to stop. The shouted bear, bear, bear! They saw my work truck and thought I should do something. They had 2 small boys under 10 years old. They were from the city and had never seen a bear outside the zoo. I looked for a bear where they were pointing and saw nothing. I have seen many bears over the years, and I was looking for a large bear. When I looked closer, I spotted this little bear and grabbed my camera. The family watched me photograph the bear with my point and shoot digital. Immediately after 3-4 quick shots, we all left the area to give the bear space. I sent the family my photos and they sent me an e-mail to thank me and to say both boys had the pictures hanging in their rooms.
