Mon May 28, 18 9:29 pm Bear+cub sighting around Post Canyon |
|
|
I saw a black bear and her cub tonight while mountain biking at Post. I was going down from toilet bowl back to parking/Post Canyon road. They were not that close to be scared, but maybe just worried - It was 8pm and I did not see other bikers on the way up or down. I Was very surprised they would be around a place freequented by humans, and I am pretty sure today was a busy day.
I would post this at some bikers forum but I am not familiar where, so I decided nwkiters may suggest where.
I just wanted to give heads up to the bikers, because it never occurred to me that bears would be in that area. |

To highjack this OT thread, it’s even more dangerous when cars go bombing up the PC road, even at 6:01 AM Tuesday in a silver four door with a nationally recognized brand on your doors at 40-45 mph blowing by the sign at the corner that says “drive like your kids live here.”
Please slow down
Thanks,
Eric |

Went riding tonight in post, no bears seen. Pretty funny hearing girl friend calling out for the bear. All kidding aside I have seen two bears back around 2009 while riding moto.
Now if we only had a great white siting at the event site we'd be set. Anything to cut down the crowds. |

They are just bears, you know they are there - go about your day. Black bears all over between Mosier and Govt Camp. They don't want much to do with you. _________________ "I have often regretted my speech, never my silence" ~Xenocrates |

I surprised a mama and cub descending Mt. Defiance a couple of years ago. Luckily they went the other way to the right. 2 minutes later I hear Papa bear on my left growling. Never saw him but I sure picked up my pace and made lots of noise. Had a cougar snatch a Neighbors poodle here in White Salmon 5 years ago off their front porch, now my wife refuses full moon walks. _________________ moondog |

I saw a small black bear while mountain biking at Post Canyon many years ago. It was taking a dump and I think I surprised him. |

Saw a bear while cycling cross the bike trail above i84 north of Hood River last summer. In the middle of the day. I was surprised. |
