Surge in Sierra bears reported; 9 caught in 2 days

"...An already busy bear season has exploded in the Sierra Nevada with nine hungry bruins captured since Wednesday morning near Reno and Lake Tahoe as an ongoing drought continues to make food scarce in the mountains. A 10th was hit and killed by a car Thursday in south Reno...." AP, 2-Oct-2014

If I was a hungry bear in the Reno/Tahoe area I'd show up at the Meadow Lake Rally -- lots of good eats and friendly folks.
(Not really...Bears, if you're reading this, feel free to check out the campground after we've left, but please wait until then -- No offense)
