BEARS YESSSIREE BEARS
We were in Hyder at the dump at night as suggested after a dinner of fish with of all people Les and Maureen. Some of the Halibut that I had caught in Homer. Tom, whom I met in Hyder took me to his crab pot for some fresh crabs to cook but alas there were no crabs in the pot.
Well we waited until about 7:30 to 8:00 and no bears in the evening at the dump, so off to the bear viewing area on Salmon Creek. We waited and waited and then suddenly some trees started shaking down by the stream. Waited some more, more shaking, no bear. Then the grizzley popped out into the stream and gave us quite a show. Then back into the bush and we waited some more and sure enough another bear popped out farther down but I was unable to get his picture as the camera jammed up on me.
Well the next morning we thought that we had seen enough bears and were tired so we decided to just head on out the Cassiar turnoff.
About half way down the road here was this great black bear just eating flowers and not paying too much attention to us or anything else in his life but just eating. So we stayed with him for about 20 minutes and then I finally told Bev she had seen enough and much to her disappointment we left her bear. Well we didn’t get 30 feet down the road and he went for the bush.
I did see one more bear on the Cassiar but was going too fast and there was not time to get a picture.
