Re: The Bear Blog
I really enjoyed this post and your beautiful photos! Makes me want to head into the bush to see if I can see some bears again.

In all my hiking, I've only ever run into 3 black bears on the trail and those were heading away from me, cautiously looking back. That's a good thing. Where you usually spot bears is when you drive. If safe, I love to pull off the road and take a good look, maybe take some...
