Actual content of my text message to a few of my friends this afternoon. It was my day to volunteer at Hawk Mountain, so after Kevin and I finished our appointment this morning to apply for our passports, I zipped off to the sanctuary.

Around 2:30 or 3:00, a group of hikers came down and said, "Um, we just saw your bear."

"Bear?"

"Yeah. It's up by Appalachian Overlook; looks like he's trying to cross the trail."

Sure enough, the one girl whipped out her cell phone and showed me pictures they had taken. It was a black bear, minding its own business in the trees maybe a hundred yards or so from where I was sitting, although the bend in the trail didn't let me see it. I radioed in to headquarters and Alan, who is the head of our outdoor maintenance crew, came to investigate, but by that time the bear had moved on.

Easily the most exciting thing to happen all day. XD
