Taylor Creek is a very popular salmon-watching spot in the Tahoe area; there were probably 100 people on hand watching the bear with Forest Service staff on hand doing crowd control. The 'safe distance' was surprisingly close, particularly since the FS didn't know this particular bear well and was conservative (their words) about 'safe distance'. I could have used the 180; with the 280 I had to back up and shoot between the people in front of me. Thanks for the comments, Gene.
