Never get this close to a real bear.
Or this close.
Whenever we went out on hikes we whooped and clapped a lot to scare them away. No good could come of startling a wild bear. This is about how close you want to get to a bear in the wild.
We floated in our zodiac to get a good look at this mama and three cubs. They rolled about eating grass, but make no mistake, mama kept her eye on us. Our boatswain wouldn’t let us get any closer because bears are good swimmers!
In Alaska they warn you about bears.
In Colorado, not so much…. Mr. Jim, Dude and Miss G. had an interesting encounter with a bear along side the road while, ahem, relieving themselves. I’m sure they would be happy to share the story if asked.
