The weather finally cleared so we pulled out of Beaver Creek after a big biking breakfast at Buckshot Betty's. On the way out of town the RCMP officer stopped us to update our bear news. He sent an officer out to the campground to trap the bear. The officer fell asleep in his truck while waiting for the bear to spring the trap. About 4:00 a.m. he awoke to shaking of his truck. The bear had crawled into the bed and was looking at him through the back window. He stepped out of the truck and the bear jumped out and headed toward him. The officer had to shoot the bear -- too bad, but necessary for the safety of the campground.
We had an easy ride today and stopped at a nice forest service lake view campground 57 miles down the road.
