San Bernardino National Forest Alertre: Bear warning
We have received word that there is a grizzly bear loose in the Mount San Gorgonio area, more notedly on the eastern slope in Morongo Valley. As you know the last native grizzlies were hunted out early in the 20th century. Please note accompanying photo taken by a surprised resident. If you have heard the rumor being spread by some local nut that says that the bear is really his dog Bob in a rented bear-suit, please disregard. Consider the "bear" to be dangerous and take all precautions.
