Went for a hike tonight and ran into bears
« on: June 23, 2011, 09:52:26 PM »
I went to a place that I like to hike and ran into 3 bears and got pics of two of them. I did notice that the salmon berries are coming in now and these bears were at them.

Very cool that you got a pic. 

We were staying up at a cabin outside of town yesterday and my wife hopped in the truck to run up the road to use her cell phone and she saw a young colorphase bear in the road.  It ran up a tree and she couldn't get a pic (she wouldn't get out of the truck, and the bear was on the backside of the tree  :chuckle: ).  She has seen bears with me before, but never that close, and never when she was by herself. 
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
