Comments
Comments: At around 6pm, had a young (maybe two years old) black bear run across Lincoln Woods Trail between the Osseo and Franconia Falls Trail junctions. With all of the Lincoln Woods signage of bears stealing food and that even hanging food has been ineffective, I was glad to see that this bear was still easily spooked off by humans.
