I made my second appearance as Smokey Bear this morning at the library in conjunction with the UFSF's "Read with a Ranger" program. The reaction of the kids was the most entertaining part - ranging from enthusiastic bear hugs and high fives to shock and sheer terror. They had lots of questions like "why's that bear got pants on?" and comments like "there's a human in that bear". One of the little girls brought me a tea cup and poured tea for me while looking up "my" nose at my nose.
We then hiked up the Dewey trail above town to the beautiful platform overlooking the harbor. Year ago, it is said that John Muir built a huge fire at the top of Dewey Mountain claiming that it was the best fire he'd ever built.
We picked up supplies and headed back to camp for a dinner and a campfire.
