Breck steps down from the truck and walks to the edge of the blacktop. I assume he’s marveling at the view, but as I walk over I hear him calling out the names of bushes and trees growing wild around the house, the ones black bears feed on: serviceberry, chokecherry, oak. “Yup,” says Kurtis. “This is some of the best bear habitat in Colorado. We moved into their habitat. You know?”
