Counting my last visit to Shenandoah National Park in 2007, on November 24th, thirty-one American black bears allowed
me to see them in the wild. That's about twice as many as three years ago.
I provided photographs that are included in both the park newspaper, "Shenandoah Overlook" and in the park
information brochure / driving map that is handed out to visitors when they enter the park.
I have applied for the same job again for 2008. Ann, the love of my life, agreed to put up with
yet another year of me away from home for much of the year.
I never got enough snow on the ground to allow me to use my new snowshoes that I got for Chistmas 2006. Maybe in 2008.
The usual great friendships happened in 2007, some new, some repeats.
