re: #247 Jadespring

One of my favorite bear encounters was on a planting block. I was heading back from my piece on a trail, round a corner and oh look bear coming the other way. We both just stopped about 15 ft apart. My first thought, ‘do I have any food on me?’ Nope ate my lunch already, okay that’s one less worry. Second thought”Any cubs?” Nope, ‘phew’. Then I started thinking okay now what. Seriously though we both just stood there looking at each other for I don’t know how long. Felt like ages. Finally I thought, okay this is stupid I guess I have to something so a raised my shovel and started to back away. As soon as I moved though he turned around and started running.

Then the problem was that the bear was where I had to go. So I stood around and waited for about 10 mins and then when I started walking started singing every girl guide song I could remember. Figured that would keep him away. :)

Three cheers for the busdriver?
