Excitement in the Neighborhood

Earlier this week, Longmont and neighboring town Hygiene had a friendly visitor wander through. Do we call him Yogi? He was hanging out at our park but we don't have any picnic tables there, so I'm not sure. He was spotted in Hygiene first where he was shooed off by a cow named 'Apple' (I'm not kidding, that's what the newspaper said). By the next day, he had wandered into our area. The local elementary school had to skip at least one recess because the bear was enjoying the playground. At some point he moved into our housing area before being tranquilized and relocated about 70 miles into the mountains.

As shown by the picture and the map, the bear was about 400 feet from our house.
