Have you ever been this close to a Black Bear.....


Joshua and his friend Tyler have been in Alaska for a week now. They have been halibut fishing, fly fishing, 4 wheeling, seeing the glaciers and much more. Well when I talked to Joshua on the phone tonight he told me that he was really close to a black bear. Joshua and Tyler were out on the 4 wheelers and they had got off to walk around and Tyler said "Joshua do you hear that noise" and when they looked up the bear was in the tree and made eye contact with them. They ran so fast to the 4 wheelers and were out of there. Way to freaky for me. Thank goodness the bear wasn't hungry at the time. I have put up a picture of what a black bear looks like...pretty much just big, black and looking for food. For those of you who know me really well I LOVE to take pictures and so I asked Joshua if he took a picture of the bear and he said if he could he would but no he didn't have time...which would make sense because you MUST get the heck out there before the bear comes at you....who knows I may have tried:}

What an adventure. That would be so scary! I would have run fast too! I'm glad nothing bad happened!
