On a walk 4-29-2010

Lucy and I were talking a morning stroll on the a path behind the Fam Camp here on the Tyndall Air force Base. We came along a huge hole dug under the fence that separates the rv park from the actual base property. I knew it had to be a big beast from the hole it dug since there were roots dug up as well. When I reported the hole to the park office we both figured it had to be constructed by a black bear! There have been sitings of black bear in the area. They are common to the area. Lucy didn't seem to be alarmed so I felt certain we were safe. The hole was dug from our side going towards the other side. I knew this because the loose dirt and roots were on our side. I looked for foot prints, but there were so many leaves around the area and the dirt that was distributed from the dig was spread wide. This would have covered most of the foot prints. I figured the bear came right out of the under the brush and straight toward the fence. I did not see any signs of foliage beaten down. This meant to me it was not a larger bear. I took pictures of the hole but it does not show debt in the picture. I should have put Lucy in the whole to get the true feeling of the hole. Oh well. I am not a good a detective as I thought I was.
