Geocache Description:

Ammo can cache. A neat places for Travel Bugs to hang out but I hope not for too long.

This is a bear corridor area, please use caution. I did not see any sign of bears when I placed the cache.
Bear Quiz:
1. What is a bear’s keenest sense?
2. Can a bear run as fast as a human?
3. How can you tell if a bear has been in an area?
4. What is a bear’s usual reaction when seeing humans?
5. What are the best locations for a bear-free campsite?
6. When are bears most dangerous to humans?
7. What two things attract bears?
8. How can you avoid encounters on the trail?
9. How should you store food in bear country?
10. When is it safe to approach a bear?

Answers:
1. Smell and hearing, although their eyes are as
good as humans’.
2. Oh, yes! A bear can run up to 35 mph.
3. Look for pawprints, claw marks on trees,
overturned rocks and logs, upturned soil, and
scat (bear droppings).
4. A bear will leave the area. A bear doesn’t
want to encounter you any more than you want
to encounter it.
5. In open areas away from trails or rivers. Set
up tents in a straight line or semicircle to allow
an exit for bears.
6. Bears are most dangerous when they become
accustomed to humans and associate them
with food.
7. Food and garbage.
8. Make noise when walking.
9. Hang food in a tree (or store food) at least 50
yards from your campsite. Keep cooking and
garbage areas clean and away from your tent.
10. NEVER!
