One summer when we lived in Vernal (and we lived there many summers), Jared went camping with the scouts. There were two leaders and several scouts.
Everyone was sitting around the campfire chatting when the discussion lead to bears and the scoutmaster reminded the boys to make sure they didn't leave any food out to tempt the wildlife in the night. After all, they were in the High Uintas. The scouts turned in and were soon asleep.
Sometime later, Jared was wakened by a noise, something brushing against the tent, making a rustling sound. He waited, and it happened again. He poked and prodded the other boys awake, speaking in a soft whisper. Then they heard a growl and really started to panic...inwards.
The bear brushed the tent again, harder this time. The scouts were frantically trying to remember if they had left any food out or, worse yet, had any food in the tent with them.
Just when they were ab0ut to blow, they heard laughing, the muffled laughing of the scoutmasters. It was a camp they will always remember :o)
