Bare Bear Butt Bliss
The area where the trail cam is located has blackberries and some old apple trees. Both favorites of the local black bears. They come by to check the ripening status of the fruit.
We like our little get away up in the mountains. No cell phone coverage, no electricity, it is a place we can truly be unplugged.
Enjoying the view of our neighbors, even if it is their backside – bliss.
A composite of bear images with our rig to show size comparisons.
Finally a smile for the camera.
This is a young black bear, we think a young female. We saw her on our drive in, just up the hill a bit.
The bare foot of the black bear.
Our little get away. No amenities to speak of, just the bare bear necessities. 😉
Pursuit of Happiness

Baby it’s Hot Outside
We were in San Francisco yesterday, where it was a balmy 73° F. Quite a few folks I hear from online think this temp is the norm for California, but please don’t judge California by San Francisco norms.
It topped the mercury at 116°F at our house, 3½ hours to the north and inland. Not to be outdone, in Death Valley, California, it reached 129° F.
We weren’t home on the hottest day so far this year, but today has been nearly as toasty. Triple digit heat is all a part of the normal summer for us. As we drove up the valley on the I-5 corridor the outside temperature quickly rose to 115° F / 46°C.
Air-conditioning, essential.
Thermally cooled seats…bliss.
Not the hottest temp this year, but still pretty toasty. Welcome to Northern California summers.
