Spirit Bear # 1 Traditional Cache

Tjhis l'il critter (cache) iis named after the Kermode bear (Ursus americanus kermodei), also known as the "spirit bear" (particularly in British Columbia), is a rare subspecies of the American black bear living in the Central and North Coast regions of British Columbia, Canada.[1] It is the official provincial mammal of British Columbia.[2] It is noted for about one-tenth of its population having white or cream-coloured coats like polar bears. This colour is due to a double recessive gene unique in the subspecies. They are not albinos[1] and not any more related to polar bears or the "blonde" brown bears of Alaska's "ABC Islands" than other members of their species. Sometimes, a mother black bear can have a white cub.** Information  from en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kermode_bear **  

We in the east, only have one species of bear, the Black Bear (although there are many variances of colour (brown, tan, "blaze",blue-black and the rare white Albino). I was privileged to see a Spirit bear many decades ago  - they are beautiful!  So in placing this cache, I salute this remarkable creature with a couple of caches in it's name!  This cache has a L'il Spirit Bear holding a camo'ed container. These are cautious critters and love to hide away from public view.  The l'il critters sibling is not too far away...!  Enjoy the hunt(s).
