remember Ron, one does not have to run that fast while running from a bear... all you have to do, is run faster than the other guy....LOL
Omg. My encounter with a mother bear with her cubs basically boiled down to the above.

Ron, your pictures are amazing. On our next visit to your area I'm hoping the daughter will be old enough to stand still while I bird watch. She got very bored whenever I pulled out the binoculars to check on any bird.

The only wildlife I've encountered while I was kilted, was the old piper that tried to pick me up as I was leaving the stage at a highland dance competition. He was kilted too.
