OMG BEAR!

Post by 38kronik00 »

So...On my way back from picking Will up and coming back to my place we were about 15-20 miles away from home and something was going across the road in front of me. It wasn't moving like a deer and was way too big to be a coyote. It...was a flippin bear! This has been my first wild bear encounter.

Scared the crap out of me... I was about half awake, only thing keeping me awake was the Monsoon audio... That bear definitley woke me up! For sure a first encounter for me too. This is a great trip so far though! Loving it!

Were you jamming out to Ted Nugent? That's probaby what attracted the bear.
