The Alaskan Game & Wildlife people recently released the following bear
advisory specifically for  vehicle campers:


Campers are warned that bear attacks are increasing. Campers should:


1. Attach small bells to the doors & pop-top of their Westie;
2. Always carry a can of pepper spray; &
3  Learn to distinguish the types of bear stool when selecting sites;
   (Black bear poo contains berries and smells like fish.)
   (Grizzly bear poo contains small bells and smells like pepper.)


[Sorry, I couldn't resist!] . . . Mike
