Re: [RC] Bear - Jody Rogers-ButtramI have to share my Bear, but no bear story. I went to Alaska about two years ago...part of the lovely traveling job I had. Anyways, you can take the girl out of the south, but not the south out of the girl. I drove up into the mountains to see what I could see. For one thing....It was the end of June when I was there, and they had SNOW in the mountains in June!!!! We don't see but maybe three flakes all winter in Alabama. So, off into the mountians I drive. I drive and drive and drive. No short drives there either folks. I stop to get out of the vehicle to walk down to a big creek to gather my mother some rocks. She is easy to get presents for .....she like rocks from different places. So, I am walking oh so carefully thru the tall clumps of grass.....looking for Snakes !!!! Then it dawns on me. They don't have poisonous snakes in Alaska
!!!! Hey, old habbits die hard. So, I gather my rocks and go about my business. Next day at work, I am telling these people what I did the evening before, and how silly I was for looking for cotton mouth snakes. They then tell me I should have been looking for brown bears. I tell them, "well that would be better than a grizzly...right?". NO. That is what they call Grizzly bears. Turns out the creek I was wondering one, it one of the prime spots for Grizzly bears. I got home, and about one year later, I was watching some documentary on Alaska....there was the exact same creek...filming grizzly bears catching fish. Turns out that the whole trip is a story...with more stories in that. Jody....who never wants to go back to Alaska. Just not for me. :)) heidi larson <ribbitttreefrog@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
