Loaded for Bear
Prepping for a variety a activities and adventures! We have our gold pans ready... and the bear spray. Hmmm, hope we use the former a number of times, but don't have to use the latter! Although, adding to our "bear stories" might be interesting.
Here is one of my stories. When growing up, my family did a lot of camping. In those days (60's - 70's) it was pretty common to have bears wander through campgrounds. Typically, we would cautiously follow them to see what they would do and where they would go. One rather amusing story occurred up in Canada. We were camping with some of our Guernsey relatives. Most had gone on a hike to look for "animals". My mom and sister stayed in camp with me. I had gone to use the outhouse, when a bear strolled through camp toward the outhouse. My mom grabbed a garbage can lid and broom. Then she ran at the bear yelling and banging on the lid. Well the bear took off (probably scared to death) and I poked my head out of the outhouse wondering what was going on. The funniest part of the story to us was when the others came back from their hike... they had seen a bird :-)
