If you go down in the woods today, you’re sure of a big surprise
If you go down in the woods today, you’d better go in disguise
For every bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain because
Today’s the day the teddy bears have their picnic…

I have no idea why I’ve always found that tune to be a touch unsettling.

“Does a bear shit in the woods?”

That had to be both really cool and really scary.

I think it’s supposed to be at least a little ominous? Especially this part…
If you go down in the woods today, you’d better not go alone
It’s lovely down in the woods today, but safer to stay at home
Safety in numbers around bears! Sage advice.

Humans casually walking in the woods and not panicking.
Bears: “Hm. So confident. Fellow masters of this domain? May be a problem. And there are so many. Best let them be.”

That’s what I did a couple nights ago when a big skunk was rummaging in some contractor bags next door.

maybe the bears were just following to make sure (“escort”) the humans out of the forest.
“…and STAY OUT!”

Dammit; I had a full inbox today, so I didnt see this post until now.
Totally what first came to my mind, upon reading Kathy’s comment.

I was literally hiking on that trail on August 27.
Pro tip: if you take the Consolation Lakes trail near Moraine Lake, when you get to the lake, turn left to follow the trail. It does not go across the boulder field.

Always remember, it is THEIR forest, and we are just guests. Let´s not overstay our welcome.

Wow … totally cool AND terrifying.
Because the bears joined the hikers on the trail, they weren’t surprised by the group and were less likely to attack or defend themselves.
