In my Piney Woods Series, I write about a historic hotel, which was inspired by the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado. I grew up not too far from the Stanley and it is also the hotel that was featured in The Shining.  Check out this bear coming in the window at three in the morning!

Hmmm, I wonder if he used Expedia or Priceline for his reservation?

If you love reading about hotels, may I recommend Murder of a Good Man?

A bear free establishment.
