Reader Karen Raub on the 300 block of Alta Pine emails:
Hi Guys, wanted to let you know at 3:30 this morning was woke by my dog an a few others in the neighborhood barking like crazy. when I got up to look there was an adult bear not more than 5 feet from the French doors. I turned on the outside lights, after a few minutes he/ she lumbered to the back and stealthily climbed over the 6 ft fence with such ease and grace I couldn't believe it.
Happy fourth,
Karen
