Yeah I remember seeing you guys, I was riding the black horse, my wife was with me, and we had a pack horse. We stopped and talked to you. I almost came back and got you when we saw the first bear, but I was afraid of missing you and we had a pretty long ride ahead of us (about fifteen more miles). The bears we saw were between a mile and a half and two miles past the cut off that you said you were taking. Remmel is pretty far for a weekend hike, if I was seriously bear hunting I would have stayed back down by the edge of the burn and hunted around all of those berries. I looked for you guys on the way out in case you got one and needed help packing, but when I got to the cutoff and saw your tracks heading back I figured you must have went back out on Friday or Saturday. The deer tracks almost completely covered your tracks up. It was our 10 year anniversary trip so I was getting pressure to not be hunting, going on a horseback trip was a stretch in itself. If I shot one of those bears we saw on the first day and went home I probably wouldn't make it to my eleventh anniversary. To bad about that trail being blocked, if you guys end up going back Andrews is all clear.
