bear sighting in Gainesville VA

On July 4 at around 12:30 PM Jenny spotted a bear at the curb of Route 29 South in Gainesville VA, just southwest of the Route I-66 interchange.

A bear had been sighted in the area about a month ago at Tyler Elementary and PACE west schools. http://wjla.com/news/local/bear-sightings-reported-at-tyler-elementary-in-gainesville-va

The sighting isn't too surprising considering the thick woods around the North Fork of Broad Run.

The bear was rummaging through some trash along the curb at the end of the guard rail where Route 29 goes over the North Fork.

Watch out for the humans, li'l bear!
