This has been one of the coldest winters and driest summers in Albuquerque's history. The result? The native black bears can't find enough to eat, so they are hungry and are raiding campgrounds. One of the lower campgrounds on the north side of the Sandia Mountains has been closed due to increased bear activity. The sign warns that bear sightings are common. On the way down the East side of the Sandia Mountains, we saw a bear along the highway lifting a big rock probably looking for grubs. Many people stopped to take photos. The bear stopped briefly, looked around at all the folks, and then continued the hunt.
