Da Bears

We finally saw our first bears on the PCT and it was a great experience. Just south of Lower Vidette Meadow I looked up and a black bear was looking right back at me about 30 feet away. I froze and he looked at us for a few seconds and then went back to chewing on some green plants. Then, we noticed a second bear a little further away.

After a minute or two, a group of three more hikers came along, and the bears decided it was time to move along. Really impressive animals, it was awesome.

    Enjoying your journal!! Have a special interest as my neice and her husband are also hiking the trail. They are young like you guys. Maybe you have or will meet Lyndsay and Jordan from TN. Your journal helps me experience what they are doing too. Be careful and have fun.
