The Other Coast by Adrian Raeside for August 28, 2022

See what happens when you walk in bear country.

And just whadya means you not has no picanic baskets? Either you lets us has your picanic baskets or else we lets ya has it.

Uh-Oh. This will give you BEARsistant memories…

And another reason that bears sponsor toilet paper!

if you decide to scamper away now, make sure the two bears spot each other. That might give them disputes to solve more pressingly.

Bearly bumped into him.

If you are in the woods and you are mauled by a bear and no one is around are your screams still audible?

Be beary beary quiet. :)

You are between Mama and her baby. Nice knowing you. See you in the next life….

Being quiet is the last thing you want to do in bear country. You want to make noise so they will keep their distance. When you get quiet, they get curious.

That happened to me when I was a teenager.

We went on a hike and took a friend’s hunting dog with us.

The dog ranged back and forth across the trail except for one 50 yard stretch where she stuck to the trail and with in a few yards of us.

When we got back I told the dog’s owner about the strange behavior and she said that we were probably near a wild berry patch and the bear that owned it was nearby.

Just nudged him in the bear-hind.

Well, KOKO made it out, Dad may have a little bit of bigger problem.

Also important to watch where you step… bears in the woods, you know.

And, Koko’s outta there!
