Because we have received more that 10 inches of rain here in PA these past 10 days canoeing had to be post poned until Memorial Day weekend, but Pine Creek looked at its best and it was very tempting. The Grand Canyon of PA came alive when I was there, everything was in bloom when I left . I did some creek fishing and hiking. Oh!, and the bear! We were all sitting outside on the front porch and this 250 lb bear came up to the porch around 10pm and was sniffing under someone's chair while they were sitting in it. We told him there was a bear behind him and he didn't believe us until the bear put it's front paws and lifted himself up. He then got down and tried to get into the back of the pickup truck and then walk away and layed down about 50 yds from us. Too, friendly!! Someone has been feeding him. So, needless to say, we were all packing our handguns on us all weekend and kept a shotgun handy. I'm so glad we didn't have to use it, he is a beautiful animal.
