Our Trip

Tuesday we left on the ferry to cross over into New York and drove to the old Forge Campground. We all got so dirty and the kids were worse. The first night we were there we were all sitting by the camp fire and it was starting to get dark, and about 10 feet away from us I saw a black bear. I hurried and stood up and quickly told everyone to get into the car. The kids started to freak out and Will and his dad went out there with lights and were yelling around. They didn't see anything so we went back out and when Will was taking the garbage down he saw one of the workers and asked him how often they saw bears, he told Will about every 10 minutes. That night Will and I were on high alert all night. You could hear snorts and things around the camp. Then we heard trucks running the bears out. The next morning we found out it was a mommy bear and her two cubs. From then on I was ok with the kids being as loud as they wanted to keep the bears away.
