Bears!

Luke and I drove to Anchorage today.  While we were going along the Eagle River Loop Road, I glanced over to a meadow along the road to see if there were any moose (I have seen moose there in the past, so I've made it a habit to always look over when we drive by).

Anyway, I did see something.  But it wasn't a moose.  It was a lot darker, and there were multiple dark things.

As soon as we passed by, I told Luke that "I think I just saw a bear...or two..."

So we turned around and drove back by.  And sure enough there were 3 black bears-a sow and 2 cubs.

I wanted to get closer for some better pictures, but Luke said "no way!  Absolutely not!".

He's wise.

Just think...I could've been in the news...like this guy:

But that was a brown bear...these were black bears...totally different, right?

Luke still says no.
