The 15th annual gathering of bears in Guerneville is probably one of joy and trepidation ... like the annual flooding; something that happens and sometimes something good comes out of it (i.e. a boost to the local economy). Frank and I had the opportunity to join in the ursine population North to the lovely town of Guerneville, California. I would describe it as summer camp for adults - there was food, there were bonfires and frolicking at the pool. Basically, a good time was had by all.
We stayed at a friend's cabin and had the opportunity of enjoying a bit of peace and quiet. We took a day off and spent a day at the beach before heading back to the crowds.
