Bear attacks girl near Lock Haven

(Original News Story Link) Bear Attack story Although rare for black bears to attack a person it does happen and just happened to the south of us on Monday. 18 year-old, Camille Marie Bombay, was part of a large deer hunting party. They managed to scare up more than a deer when they ran into this mother bear and her three cubs. As Leo(our pit bull) can tell you chasing a mother bear never ends well. She had bites to her shoulders and arms and was treated at Lock Haven Hospital before being transfer to Geisinger.  A reminder to all of us using this beautiful area. We are walking into "their territory" and you don't always drive out the exact thing you are looking for. Camille is doing well and will have a heck of a story to tell for a long time.

On another note there isn't a lot of snow on the roads, but as always four-wheel drive is a prerequisite to winter driving in Tioga Forest unmaintained roads. I would also suggest taking chains with you and plenty of warm clothes and water should you have to walk a long distance for help. Cell phones only work in a very few high ridge areas and you can't count on them to save you. Plan ahead and stay safe. Mountain girl, Paula, logging out.
