A black bear came down the mountain into Greenwood Lake Tuesday, apparently looking for a place to cool off and a quick bite. Road crews chased the bear out of the lake; the animal then took a look-see around the docks. Greenwood Lake Police Sgt.Bob Rabbitt, with his back to the camera, is seen chasing the roaming bear out of the yard at 15 Ten Eyck Ave. The bear was last seen going back up the mountain.
