Re: the woman who was killed and eaten by a mother black bear and cub last
year in the Smokies...

A park service ranger I talked to last week said that those investigating
this highly unusual occurrence concluded that this "experienced" hiker in
fact tried to run from the bears, whom she may have surprised. This action,
in the bears' minds, designated her as prey.
