Tempting Mother Nature

Read and heed

Apparently, they don't read or pay attention

YACHATS, OR - - We always like to see the 'risk takers' or the 'don't know any better' folks and wait for a photo opportunity.  We don't want to see an accident, but the number of folks tempting fate  is quite large. 
     Years ago, while up in Canada, we were riding our bikes on a back road and came upon a dozen or so people and little kids clustered around the base  of a pine tree.  They were pointing at a young bear cub stuck on a limb.  The crowd's first thought should have been "where's mama bear."  instead of hoisting little kids on the adults shoulders so the kids could get a better look.  
     We kept going, knowing the folks didn't want to hear about potential danger.  Fortunately, few minutes later a park warden showed up to end the 'fun.'
