Grumpy and Grandma 740 Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Saw on FB a picture of new red trash cans at the campsites that look bear proof. They've been in the 2800 cabin loop for at least the last 2 years. Bears ??Yep!! Would also keep other wildlife out. Which is a good thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Retired & Tired (Judy) 90 Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Hopefully they will keep the possums and racoons out too. They are really loud around 5 am each morning and they can actually get the top of the cans off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They are really loud around 5 am each morning and they can actually get the top of the cans off. My guess is that they're way more of a problem than the rare bear that makes an appearance.

One day a lady screamed her head off, she went to put her trash in a can and a squirrel jumped out. I thought it was kind of funny at that moment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oh those little buggers did a good job of teaching DH not to leave anything on the outside kitchen when he watched them run off with half a bag of Doritos. :rofl2: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 You know you like it. I do actually like the soft-sided one. I'm not sure that one is bear-proof though. LOL! I might also like it more because I can use it myself AND we didn't pay for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

djsamuel 322 Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Bears ??There have been bear sightings at the Fort. My daughter lives in Celebration and she was running one morning and encountered a bear and her cubs (she heard a growl first). Made her run faster (after slowly walking away).

keith_h 420 Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 After spending many years camping in the Sierras where most of the campgrounds have bear proof garbage cans and bear boxes for coolers I'm still surprised not to see them here in the S.E. given the black bear population.

My daughter lives in Celebration and she was running one morning and encountered a bear and her cubs (she heard a growl first). Made her run faster (after slowly walking away). I bet!! It seems the "look out for bears" notice gets handed out at the Fort at least once or twice a year. The frantic uproar that follows on the interwebz usually lasts at least a week, often with not a single bear seen by a single live person partaking in the uproar. And then the discussion of snakes starts... :rofl2: djsamuel 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
