We love Blackberries.
We love Blackberries. Especially straight from the bush. There are a lot of blackberry bushes in SFBA. You saw some of them in first three pictures of the album

When we find a blackberry bush, we do 3 things
1. Eat all the blackberries
2. Record GPS coordinates with waypoint names like "blackberry1, blackberry2, ..."
3. Never ever tell anyone the coordinates. That's why photos above are in an undisclosed location and not geotagged, as usual.

One of the biggest bushes we saw, was at Lake Shasta. Locals don't eat them, telling Marianna Dizik
- "Don't eat it, only bears do".
- "Перебьются", - she explained, stuffing her face with blackberries, - "Let them eat acorns".

Anyway, the San Bruno Mountain bush was quite large. The two of us had to really stomp through it. Two against one bush was fair, because the two of us together are 260 lb, almost equal to a small black bear. Of course, it meant lots of scratches:

Lots of our friends have backyards. We encourage them to plant blackberry bushes. You can protect them from bears with a big fence. But the only reliable way to protect anything from humans, say guests like us, is armed patrols. Second amendment. The right to bear arms. Better yet, organize patrols of armed bears. The right to arm bears. Кто что охраняет, тот то и имеет. See also
