You Are What You Eat

We hiked toward the top of Bunsen Peak today, but had to turn back because of the weather - it started raining, then got really windy, and may have even sleeted on us for a minute before things settled down. Whatever left this on the trail (the doo doo, not my foot) had been feeding on a hairy carcass of some kind. When you are hiking in bear country, like Bunsen Peak, they say it is wise to wear a bell so that you don't surprise a bear, to carry pepper spray in case one gets too close to you, and to keep an eye out for bear droppings. You can tell which are bear droppings because they have little bells in them and smell like pepper.
