I am so disappointed, just heard about Name that Bear Contest about 30 minutes ago. But you had already chosen the finalist. I don’t know how that happened.
Any way, I would have named him, “Roamie”, that is all he is doin” just “roamin” the area and checkin” us out. He is headed for the Lake at Mistletoe. He knows what he is doin” and he will be fine. People up at Mistletoe are great Folks. They will watch out for him and the folks that visit the Park.
