I think the grizz was just wandering through. This morning we found out that a dog was killed about 10 miles East of me. Bear tracks all around. But that means the bear is out in the prairie so it'll be spotted.

It used to be famous for a tb sanitarium in the olden days......
Every town has some forgotten history like that... My vet for many years was in Monrovia, on Duarte a block or so off Myrtle, so my truck knows the way without needing to consult the driver. Nice quiet neighbourhood. I never saw any film crews there myself, and never worked there back when I was doing bits and extras, but yeah, it could be "Anytown, USA".

Dunno about that, but back when I was passing thru there regularly, I'd go over and stay in Moscow ID, just down the road and across the border. One of the nicest little towns you'll ever see. Has a good library that (at least back then) let ANYONE take out books, and even supplied return postage to send them back whenever you got done with 'em! Moscow also has an active science fiction club (Moscon is one of the oldest SF conventions in the NW) and if I recall right also has some historical recreationist groups. A bit further east is dairy farms and such. So.. there's plenty to do, just not the traditional drinkin' and cruisin' and partyin'.

Wurzig, you'd love Alaska! Where we used to live, bears and moose would walk right through town on any given day. The last time we were on our way up there, we had camped out in our truck alongside Destruction Bay in the Yukon. We woke early to get back on the road, and passed a young grizzly busy digging for something on the side of the road. We stopped to take pics and he didn't pay us any mind...he was too busy looking for breakfast to worry about us!

Hey SnowDreamer..................

I'm sure you know, a Grizzly that color is known as a "Tokolat" by the people native to the Yukon & Alaska. That one is most likely digging for a ground squirrel.
Back in 1996 my late wife and I spent the night in our Lance P.U. Camper about 50 yards off of the highway right there at Destruction Bay. And the next morning when we got back on the highway and continued northbound,......about 9 am a wolf ran across the highway right in front of our truck. I was able to grab the camera and got a picture (somewhat out of focus) of him about 25 yards away, standing in the brush. Beautiful country.

Our first house was in Duarte.......in the Fish Canyon area....... People laugh when I say that there was an old barn with a goat tied up in front of it.....that area has really changed.....

Yep, the City of Hope is in Duarte......a wonderful place where one hopes to never have to go....

My car knows how to get to Wally World, Costco and the local grocery store, (Ralphs)...... It used to go straight to the high school, middle school, etc., but those days are over...

Yea, from what I understand, the students at Pullman and Moscow mix together....

Well, a big (and totally unexpected) scholarship arrived for/from U of Montana today.....this is going to be a hard decision.....she is really looking forward to the trip so that she can compare and find which one is right for her..... I wish I had had opportunities like this when I was her age.....
