Drivers pulled over to the side of the road by Highway 133 recently when a bear was seen walking through a field. Folks alighted from their cars in time to see the bear start to climb the hill. Once the bear saw the people he changed course and walked through a wooded area adjacent to the North Fork River. The bear escaped being captured on camera, but it was a lovely view anyway.
