Group photo with bear box

At the end of a 2001 De Anza Outdoor Club camping trip people were taking last minute pictures of each other at the campsite with just trees as background. I thought that didn’t make an interesting photo so I suggested, why not use the bear box that the bear had tried to break into the previous night? Things progressed from there.

So we tried the same group photo on the Tahoe 2003 trip.

It’s a good thing many people went home before these were taken (after the campsite was packed up and cleaned up), because there’s no way we could have fit everybody who was on the trip!

We recommend bringing a good tent that will not leak rather than sleeping in a bear box.
