Bear damage

We thought beating up the bird feeders was the only damage the bear was going to do, but noooooooooo. We had noticed that he had knocked the dump hose loose from the receptacle while he was stumbling around the outside of our motorhome in the night. No big deal, we just put it back together properly. Well, tomorrow is a travel day, so I spent some time disconnecting and putting stuff away in preparation. In the process, I discovered the two inch gash in our brand new heavy-duty dump hose. Didn’t look like tooth marks. I don’t think he bit it. He probably stepped on it against something sharp. Good for us the cut wasn’t right in the middle, it was more toward one end. Some quick work with a knife and wire cutters, and the dump hose is as good as before, just a little shorter.

Tonight, the bird feeders are stowed, the hoses are stowed, the flower pots are put away. We should get an early getaway tomorrow morning.
