This is very cool! Judging from the bear I guess you might be near VA if not in it...but I guess bears really can be anywhere in the SE.

I’m only about a 2 hour drive from Shenandoah now that I’ve moved and definitely want to make camping there a priority come spring. But I’ve never had to contend with bear concerns while camping before, so it will be a new learning experience.

The good news is that black bears are super skittish. Make noise, give them their space, don’t leave food out, and you’re generally ok. Unless a black bear has cubs with her, they’re pretty easily spooked.

And congrats on the move! Do lots of camping, it’s good for the soul, you know?
