21. "what i think may have been a grizzly approached me at abt 20-30 ft" In response to In response to 0
i did the most classic, over the top double take of all time lol
like
oh hey bear...
... WAIT OH SHIT BEAR
stared me down for about a minute (which was a LONG ass time)
then lumbered along its way
i saw it again later from farther away just doing its thing
what was even scarier than the encounter was camping that night in the same spot, and so every few minutes and every little sound was "is that the bear? is the bear back? what was that? you think that bear's still around? bear?"
we decided to pack it in the next day, which was a day early
and also didn't eat the acid we had brought with us
(actually, funny footnote, is that when we left on the trip we forgot the acid at home and turned around about an hour in our drive to go back and get it - turned out to be a nonstarter lol)
