A cyclist creamed a 300lb. bear (or was it the other way around?), and a backpacker left his boots outside the tent.
And a lost camera, too.



Details here from the Fresno Bee.

Whoa!!! The carbon frame was snapped clean in two places.


On the "Camera mystery":
The young man introduced himself as "Sean," said he was from Fresno and told them that chipmunks had eaten away the soles of his boots one night when he left them outside his tent.

Mighty big chipmunks! ...or more likely those pesky marmots. I've had them chew the handles off my hiking poles.
