Let's go to Wisconsin

I had to share this funny story - how about some luxury cabins in the woods of Wisconsin and we can share a beer with a bear!

HAYWARD, Wis. (AP)  Shoppers in a Wisconsin grocery store got an unexpected surprise when a 125-pound black bear wandered inside and headed straight for the beer cooler. The bear stopped Thursday night at Marketplace Foods in Hayward, about 140 miles northeast of Minneapolis, sauntering through the automatic doors and heading straight for the liquor department. It calmly climbed up 12 feet onto a shelf in the beer cooler where it sat for about an hour while employees helped evacuate customers and summoned wildlife officials. Officials from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources tranquilized the animal and took it out of the store. Store workers say the bear seemed content in the cooler and did not consume any alcohol.

there was a similar story involving a convenience store a few years back (Minnesota, Wisconsin, Montana, Alaska...) I guess bears don't discriminate about their choice of beer cooler locations!!
