22. That reminds me that they will soon be out of hibernation here.

Notices will be up everywhere. Locals, at least, know enough to avoid them if possible. Several years ago we had a bear that spent quite some days wandering a neighborhood a bit far from where they usually den. The locals would react with, 'hey, joe, grab your camera, the bear is headed your way." Cameras out, people would take pics from inside, or their porches. No serious interactions. But then, we are very used to the wildlife here, and try not to be stupid. Some of the visitors, on the other hand. . .
