If you are going to be chasing the C&TSRR this time of the year you should pay attention if you are getting any distance from the highway. The bears in our area are getting closer to town and to the highways looking for food.
I took pictures of two different ones last week and neither was very far from the highway. One was pretty close to the tracks after the 3rd crossing.
Pay attention and everything will be fine.
