Anniversary Bear

Hi All,

It is hard to believe we have been married 45 years. To celebrate we were back on duty today and managed a bear jam along a very narrow, winding road with few safe parking places.

Shortly after we arrived, this small brown colored black bear walked across the road for a drink and swim in the beaver pond. 

After a short swim to cool off it was back into the berry bushes on the hillside to keep fattening up for winter. The bear was soon out of sight and the bear jam petered out.

We grabbed a quick lunch and soon we were back in almost the same spot. The bear was hard to see though it was probably the same one seen earlier. Mostly we saw shaking branches as the bear stripped berries off. This time the crowd had a lot of patience and hung around hoping for a good view.

After about two hours of no good sightings, we were all surprised when a different bear walked in from the opposite direction. This one was much bigger with different coloration and a yellow ear tag.

This bear quickly walked out of sight and we got to keep our anniversary dinner date.

Love,
