2013_08_10 "The Climb": Bear Sighting

Author:  Mike Hassur

This will be our shortest blog post ever. 

This past Saturday (August 10th) Les, Dwaine, and I were out at The Climb.  I was only going up once as I had wedding duties (for our son) to attend to.  Les and Dwaine were going to do six repeats.  Anyway, on the first trip up (about 6:45 AM), we had gotten about 0.5 mile away from the cars when Les said "look at that".  We looked up in time to see a mother bear and TWO CUBS crossing the road about 100 to 150 yards ahead of us.  They quickly scurried off into the trees, but we got a pretty good look at them.  It was pretty neat, and I believe it is the first time any of us has seen bear cubs there.

This just reconfirmed what we have long known:  "THE CLIMB" IS A PRETTY AWESOME PLACE!!

  1. GREAT...Thanks Mike. Only confirming my fear of dying due to being mauled by a wild animal. Thank goodness there were no bunnies, that one on Monte Python was pretty vicious.
