About a week ago, a medium sized bear cub, about 55 pounds scooted over the gravel road, about 1/4 mile in from the Route 202 entrance. The cub was running quite fast, about say 15 miles per hour, and dashed into the woods running towards the large water tanks to the west, and we could hear it for about 250 yards, as it was crying for the mother. We waited there patiently about five minutes, and things quieted down, and that was the end of the bear cub chapter.
We have seen many signs, including the consumed remains of fish, so there are surely some bears at Ashley.
