With Memorial Day on the way, the US Forest Service wants you to be bear aware when camping and hiking in the back country this summer. Store your food in locking bear proof containers or the storage box at your campsite. Never leave food in your tent or car, because a bear can break in and destroy your vehicle. Take the time to place all your garbage inside the locking trash cans provided before you head home. And, hike in a group, keep your dogs on a leash, and never approach a bear or a cub, if you see one in the wild.
