Went to Yosemite one time, baited them with Cheetos. Still didn't see
any!

Should of been there years ago. They used to sit up next to the road and
beg for cookies. Have not seen any last couple of trips. Daughter and
husband and granddaughter saw one at White Wolf campground area last summer.

I think the rangers implemented a scare-them type of thing to keep
them out of the campgrounds, Curry Village, etc.

They still come in the campgrounds. They took the dumps out of the valley
and did not allow the feeding of the bears on the road.

Even bears don't want anything to do with you!

If you'd throw in some nasty remarks and name calling, paying special
attention to misspell the vulgar words (for some reason) you'd sound
just like your lover/clone Harry.

My wife wants to go cruise the inside passage of AK. "Cruise, you
dont mean, NO, not a cruise ship, over my DEAD BODY". So, I go stew
for awhile and look on the net and lo and behold find the Tolman Skiff
pages, hmmmmmm. I can talk her into any crazed adventure normally. I
build the skiff and show her the beautiful pics of people taking their
skiffs around parts of the Passage trailering em by truck and seeing
all this cool stuff. Damn, she doesnt buy it!
Hmmmm, plan B. While in Wyoming last year, begin talking about
trucking the Tolman to WY and boating all over JAckson lake AND then
eventually up to AK. "Nope", she does not like the Tolman. She likes
the sailboat. She wants to see whales (Me: "They're just oversized
dolphins"). She wants to be comfortable. This from a woman who gave
me grief for talking just once about buying a pop-up instead of using
a tent?

My wifes aunt and uncle have done a couple of http://www.cruisewest.com/ to
AK. They loved it. Small boats, maybe 80 passengers.
