Beacon Rock Update - 08/22/05
=======================

BRSP Ranger John Ernester asked that I pass along that the female black bear with cubs from last year is still about and unfortunately now has an injured paw. If you do see her and her cub please give them wide berth. They often tend to travel from above the highway East of Beacon down across the tracks to a single track along the river and then head West of Beacon and the boat launch. Last fall we saw them cross the tracks repeatedly about a 100 yards East of the SE corner.

Again, give them plenty of room and please let them pass quietly, thanks...
