Mary and I discovered a restaurant chain while traveling in October.
Black Bear Diners, on I-5 and State 99 in the Golden State, plus
several
other location.

The 2 we had meals in Tulare and Red Bluff, had gift shops (and we're
always looking for something for the grandkids).

One Item we did buyt for ourselves is called BEAR BERRIES - Premium
Chocolate covered BLueberries and cranberries.   WONDERFUL !!!!!!

We discovered they are made by the Chocolate Moose Candy Company
in Anchoratge, Alaska.  Products are available on-line, if you're
interested.
