geeze this took 45+ minutes...the Griz showed up about Midnight. I was reading and scanning the shore every few minutes, he covered about 3/4 mile before I saw him. It was quit a sight at first. the Sun at his back, the breeze blowing his fur up, he looked to be glowing when I first saw him. He started sniffing my trail up from the Lake. He stopped just short of the target I zeroed my sights on. That was where I put down the camera and picked up the Marlin. Way to windy for Bear Spray. He finally trotted off when he figured out what I was taking my advice to go. He did, he crapped all the way across the meadow...
The Cabins are the Holmes Research Station. I found a guest book inside with the names of Japanese climbers going up Chamberlin years earlier and a couple from Greenwater WA. Get this; a float plane dropped a group with their guide, some Friends of wildlife group, can't remember which one...one of the Women, we talked and realized I worked in the same building as her sister, had already met her. Small world....
No Moose, a few nervous caribou, a pesky porcupine, trout as long as my leg..
