Dump Bears_4H4A4421

We met some folks at our campground and we took them around to see the sights at Valdez. Unfortunately the salmon weren't running yet, so the only bears available were at the dump.

 

They are trying to bury the refuse, but with digging machines like brown bears it's difficult to provide enough cover. But the problem is that this mother has now instructed her cubs that people smells offer food and once a bear associates something with food there is a 100% chance they'll repeat the behavior.
