Re: Apple Picking Day at Curry Village

Tuesday August 1st, starting at 8am: Come on by and help the bear team knock down/ collect apples from the historic apple trees in the curry village parking lot. Yosemite's black bears are attracted to the apples as they begin to ripen and it can lead to trouble for both them and visitor's cars parked in Curry Village.

That grove has always fascinated me. I had no idea the bears wouldn't eat them until ripe!

When I worked in the Valley in the Fall of .65 we'd drive through the orchard at night to see the eyes of the bears in the trees. Sort of like watching submarine races.
