Hey Gonzo, I'm glad you put this picture on white blaze, because this is the first bear I have seen on the A.T..

My pleasure. To date (569.1 miles on the AT since I started in '99) it's the only bear I've seen too. I scared him to death when I came around the corner of the mountain. He was sitting about 25' away on a log just off the AT eating and I yelled out "Yo bear!" to let him know I was around. This was his quick exit up the hill and I just managed to get my camera out and snap him crossing the trail.
