Carole, I am still enjoying thinking about your visit... you and Jeanne and others that came from so far.. we just all seemed to get along so well in Catalina.. like being with old friends.. <3 :)^ Well, not that old... just good friends...
LaLa - I too can't stop thinking of the time we all spent together, it felt like I had known you for
such a long time. <3 The boat ride, Catalina, Lake Casitas, your warm and beautiful home and Santa Barbara are such
fond memories for me. I miss you a lot and still talk about my trip nonstop, I think my friends are sick and tired of
hearing about it :P . Travelling to California with Deb, Gary and Jeanne couldn't have been better, what a great group. :wub:

Okay, Cruzers, wonder if you can help me. If any of you have visited the San Diego Zoo and stayed at any of these hotels, can you give me your opinion re convenience, cleanliness, value for what you get, etc? I would really appreciate it. I'm thinking next year of flying into SD, touring zoo and animal park and then driving up to LB for ferry. And maybe a meet-up at the Sacred Door and/or Panda Palace! Darn, that food was good.

Like they say, we can't chose our family but we can chose our friends.

Wow! Linda, ask Dick if he can remember how it was set up. I have 3 very large 'urns' on my patio, each containing 2 tomato plants. I don't have the energy to cultivate as much ground as you did so this is all I have. But I would also love some fresh cukes! The nice thing seems to be how quickly they grow. Did you find that to be true?

Lily the Bear - Update August 6, 2010 - 9:54 PM CDT

Education


Posted Image
2-year-old Jo, daughter of RC

The research bears are doing well-eight are currently sending GPS data to our computers! Today we replaced a failed GPS unit on 2-year-old Jo and one on 8-year-old Braveheart. Braveheart's unit had been transmitting for over 11 days and we knew it would fail soon. We watched our computer screen as she approached a road and were able to intercept her to replace her GPS before it failed. It's great when it works out that way! Other times we've watched helplessly as a bear moved deeper into a roadless area knowing their GPS unit would fail before they were accessible again.

We are scrambling to get office work done before hunting season is upon us. The major project for the next several days is in support of the classroom outreach project so many teachers are making happen. With that kind of momentum, we don't want to hold them up! Our current assignments from the group are to clear the way for major purchases for the bear boxes, put the poster exhibits from the Bear Center in a form that can be used for developing curricula, and create short videos on a variety of topics. This is all exciting to us. With the help of the teachers among Lily's fans, there is the talent and manpower to create something very far-reaching. Along that line, we will soon videotape Lynn's two lectures so teachers can put them in a useful form for curricula.....

June's territory is partly in Bear Head State Park and she denned there the last 2 winters. Hunting is not allowed within the park boundaries, so we were relieved when June moved to the park on the night of the first day of the bear hunt in 2008. She was pregnant and headed off to den early. Pregnant females are generally the first to den and it's common to find them denned in early September. We are hopeful she will den there early again this fall.

Momentum is building on still another front. Lynn is working on his book whenever he can. After urging from Lilypad Picnickers, the working title now is "It's Me, Bear: Daring to Trust Bears for Science."

Thank you for all you are doing.

~Lynn Rogers and Sue Mansfield, Biologists, Wildlife Research Institute and North American Bear Center
