Title: Saw a bear!
Post by: demontang on September 05, 2011, 04:49:55 PM: So I took the family up little naches for a drive. We went to the end of 1905 and I got out and looked down the hill to see a bear walking through a clearing. I ran back to my rig and grabbed my weatherby but never saw it again:(. The kids and girl had a good time and we found a few black caps too.

After all the sweat and brambles - we never saw him again. Phooey.

Still, all in all, it was an awful lot of fun! :tup:
