First thing after breakfast we wandered down a trail in the forest along the Dutch Lake. After some time we came across bear scat more or less confirming there are bear in the area, although we have not heard or seen them.
Lez realizes that bear we have been told is around - is really big: Fairly fresh bear scat confirms this is likely Papa Bear. I didn't anticipate the walk, and headed out with the sneakers on instead of hiking boots, so we didn't wander as far as we could have. Lee went out again later and took more photos which I editted when he got back. More beautiful wilderness - no end to the vibrant fall colour contrasts, and a very calm Dutch Lake provided more photo ops. I cooked up a roasted chicken for Thanksgiving, complete with dressing. We enjoyed the dinner and then took a short walk and eventually enjoyed our evening coffe at our firepit until the stars came out.
