On Wednesday, May 11th, we drove from our home in Warren PA to Leeper PA, a distance of approximately 47 miles. Our destination was the Rail 66 Country Trail trailhead. We parked off Route 66 in the Car Mate parking lot next to the trail. From the Leeper trailhead we rode our bicycles, south, to […]

It has been 8 months since I last published a blog post for ”Bicycling the beauty around us”. Our last bicycle ride in 2021 was in September. So far this year we have bicycled in our neighborhood, and we rode our bicycles at Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge on Assateague Island in Virginia. We bicycled a […]

Our wedding anniversary was this past Sunday, on September 26th. We decided to take an anniversary trip to Confluence PA, where we spent 3 nights at an Airbnb. We brought our bicycles with us. Around 10:00 am on Monday, September 27th, we left on a bicycle ride. Entry to the Great Allegheny Passage was a […]

We vacationed the week of June 25 through July 2 in Hudson, Ohio. We brought our bicycles with us, intending to bicycle the entire Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail in Cuyahoga Valley National Park several times during the week. Because of extreme heat and high humidity and rain we ended up riding only a […]

Ha, I wish you could have gotten a photo of the bear. Sorry about your feeders, Linda!
That is rather scary-thank goodness you keep the kitty inside-I usually only read one book at a time and listen to another in the car-commuting in LA you need a distraction-one book is on the IPAD and I borrowed it from the library-so I need to finish it.
I guess I need to quit complaining about the squirrels and the damage they do to our feeders. I don't want the bear to visit you again, but it would be neat to get a picture of the criminal in the act.
Good that the bear did not enter the house in search of food..That was really scarry..Ram
Hi There, I'm trying to catch up after being gone for a week. You will have to do what we do—bring your feeders inside (or put them up in a big container) each night… We have WAY too many big critters around here too…Sorry about your lighthouse feeder… Maybe if you are a good girl, Bob will buy you a new one sometime…Hugs,Betsy
Oh wow Linda, has this happened before? What a shame about your beautiful lighthouse feeder. I was looking for a bear sighting when we went to Massanutten a couple of weekends ago but maybe just as well we didn't.
All that mess and no pictures of that rotten bear! Yup, he wasn't being very nice! 😉
Yikes! I would be afraid to go out in the yard now.
Great shots. Squirrels are tough on bird feeders. Darryl and Ruth 🙂
Oh, Linda, that is too bad about your feeders getting torn up.What do bears do if a dog is outside…do they bother it at all?
