Interesting story out of Tahoe where bears looking for a place to hibernate are increasingly bedding down in or under vacation and second homes. One reason is that these homes are being built on their natural habitat. The other, according to the story, is that people are unintentionally inviting the bears in by leaving crawl spaces open and food out.

Best line in the story comes from BEAR League Director Ann Bryant: “The problem is more and more tourism and more and more people coming up here for vacation and forgetting to bring their brains with them.”

And ain't that the truth?
