Touring Mammoth Lakes - Black Bear Spotted

Yesterday late morning we got on the road with Caryn and Joe and took off for Mammoth Lakes. What a beautiful drive, we made a stop on the way to see Convict Lake, there is a fishing tournament going on around this area so many fishermen and women around. Mammoth Lakes was really packed with fishing people and bike riders. The ski slopes turn into bike trails in the summer months, the ski lifts even were taking the bike riders to the top so they could ride down. We drove around to more lakes and I believe it was Lake Mamie were we saw the Black Bear. We were walking around taking pictures when you saw some fishermen leave their poles and climb up the hill, then we looked and saw why. The bears, Caryn said, always come out to steal the fisherman's catch, and that is exactly what that bear was doing. He walked up and down the fishing poles and if the fish were there he stole them. After he walked away the fishermen climbed back down to their sites, pretty neat to see, hopefully Dave's pictures will come out. (he needs a zoom lens though, so don't know how well they will come out)
One funny thing that happened, don't ask me why but Dave was doing the driving, he got a little too much on the wrong side of the road and a car was coming at us, Caryn was sitting behind Dave and she said "boy, that was a Butt Pucker" I started laughing, I had never heard that saying before. Dave said sorry and stayed on his side of the road after that.
After a long day of touring around we went to Caryn and Joe's for dinner, I had been teasing her about knowing how to cook, since we always go out or Dave cooks, so she had to prove to me she did know how to cook.
Tomorrow is the demolition Derby, at night, and Joe is entering one of his trucks into the ugly truck contest at the fair, at night. During the day might help Joe decorate his truck and do some more touring around Bishop, plus, Dave is trying to finish up their website before we go.
