Bears On Vacation

AP (07.21.05):

"A bear wandered into a Raton motel on Monday and a second bear broke into a Taos Ski Valley motel a day later. [At the Raton motel, the bear] 'walked in, went to the pay phones, then straight toward the pool,' said desk clerk Kimbra Pacheco." Bears Wander Into Motels in New Mexico

We usually check in first before going to the pool. "Lodgers with newspapers chased the bear through an enclosed pool area until game officers arrived." Lodgers without newspapers remained seated.
