Great pictures! I remember going to the Copper Harbor dump to see the bears as a kid with my family. They never disappointed us, they came and gave us a show every time. As kids it was one of the most exciting things about summer vacation in the UP, next to camping and swimming and seeing our Grandparents. We also saw bears on our annual trip to Florida going through the Smokey Mountains. I am curious as to whether the bear population in the US is increasing or decreasing? It is amazing bears and humans have been able to live so close together without too many problems...they can get so big.
