(Waldport, Oregon) A campground on the central Oregon coast got a bit of a bear scare in the middle of the night last week, with the thieving beast rummaging around in someone's trash and making off with a chunk of food. No one was injured in the ruckus, only a a little shaken.
Bill and Betsy Spence, compare rental cars two of the managers for the Tillicum Campground between Waldport and Yachats, were jolted awake around 3:30 a.m. on September compare rental cars 18 when a camper approached Bill and said a bear had bumped into his trailer.
Upon hearing about the incident, Leach decided to try and track where the bear had been. She did indeed discover some, as well as bear droppings. More of the photos are at the Pampering Campers blog.
I took my camera compare rental cars to the beach to find tracks, Leach said. I was just curious where he came into the campground. I did find tracks up by the creek, north of the campground. I'm guessing he came down the creek because I didn't see any tracks on the other side of it. Then he walked up into the woods nearby.
Doug Cottam, a wildlife biologist with Oregon Department compare rental cars of Fish and Wildlife, said there are many bears wandering that area around Waldport and Yachats, but his office hasn't received any complaints about bears from there in recent months.
