When I was little and my parents would take me along for a ride in the car..I believed that when my mother pointed out a bare spot on a mountain....I thought that was where all the bears hung out. I never questioned her, so I believed this for a very long time. Until I was old enough to know better! One day it dawned on me........That is NOT where the bears hang out. Just a bare spot.
