Haven't seen anything larger than rabbit or coyote tracks. Our two dogs, a redbone hound and a toy poodle keep us appraised as to anything that goes "bump" in the night (as in snow clumps etc) . No strange foot prints yet, but don't rule it out. I take dogs Antelope chasing daily for theirs and my exercise. The bus is for the most part quite comfortable and of course the chance to "interact" with wife in a meaningful manner is improving. This translates into, "I have hidden all knives and other sharp instruments" Actually, anyone who lives in Colorado , as we did, will tell you, they do a tremendous job on the roads. Thanx though for the "Bear Facts" and report.

P.S. : I did purchase a shovel
