Myth or reality?
Charis had a morbid fear of bears(.
When car camping with Edward Weston in the late 1930's, Weston would, on adjoining campsites, smear the undersides of heavy,WPA picnic tables with peanut butter which would it turn:
1) Provide entertainment as the black bears squirmed backwards underneath the tables to like off the peanut butter.
2) Keep the bears out of Edward & Charis' campsite since the food was elsewhere.
(the full bear would leave after gorging on peanutbutter.)
3)Terrified campers in the nieghboring camps would leave, giving Edward and Charis an extra measure of privacy while camping in public campgrounds.
So myth? Or not?:confused:
