Mtn Shocker! Woman Feeds Bears, They Return Favor By Eating Her!!
Ouray, Colorado:
Rode the bike thru this little town, near Telluride, wild San Juan Mtn range. The road runs up to 10,500 ft, surrounded by 12-14 thou cliffs. Despite repeated warnings from fish & game, cops, neighbors, 74 yr old woman continued to feed skunks, 'coons, elk, deer, &....bears. Her corpse, with various missing body parts was found outside her home in Oray, ("Oar-Ray"), just north of Silverton, Co.
Speculation is that she may have already been dead when the bears decided that if she didn't have any food to offer, they'd simply munch on her remains.
ABM's foray down the "Million Dollar Highway" took us thru Ouray, a quaint little town nesteled in a vee-shaped valley. There are several motels, businesses, and bubbling hot springs, drawing people from all over the world, so it's not like this place is totally isolated. Seeing 150-200 lb elk, deer, & even an occasional bear or two roadside, even within the town limit is not uncommon.
Southwest Colorado is said to have an epidemic, when it comes to locals feeding the wildlife. Neighbors who knew the 74 year old lady, say she would not be opposed to having her friends, the bears, feed on her after she was already dead.. ugh.
