[Cdt-l] Cdt-l Digest, Vol 40, Issue 16

I also saw a griz and two cubs for the first time south of Yellowstone. 
If I'm not mistaken it was along Leeds Creek on Ley map Wy11.  What was 
awesome is the bears were on the other side of the smallish creek and 
the mom alerted both cub and hiker with a "woof, woof".  I knew 
immediately I have never heard such a bark and something was up.  The 
bear retreated into the woods as I fist pumped into the sky.
