We didn’t see any (wild) bears while we were in Alaska, but there were many, many black bears on the drive back to the U.S. Choppy was not happy with any of them. Thanks to her barking at every bear we ran across, most of the pictures I managed to get were of bears running away.I may complain about my broken finger, but it appears some people had things a lot worse while they were in Canada. At least my car made it home in one piece, even if all my bones did not.All those black things in the river? Salmon. Not pictured: the bears that were likely hiding in the bushes around the creek.A point of interest: if you can’t read, this sign would suggest that a lot of activities not to engage in around bears are perfectly legitimate and fine activities to engage in while in the presence of a bear. (Also, this was taken in Hyder, Alaska – after being back in Canada for a couple days, Choppy and I took a short detour to this small, Southeastern Alaskan village, which is noted for its bears (we didn’t see any)).Another graphic Canadian warning about hitting wildlife. If you can’t see it on first glance, note the deer head where you would normally sit in the car. And the antler that appears to have been knocked off by the force of the hit that is sitting on the floor.
I’m glad you two are ok!
