We were nearing the end of a hike and I grumbled a little because we hadn’t seen any wildlife. We were little tired so our talking and singing to the bears was not as vehement as earlier. Not a good plan it seems. We rounded a corner on what was really a fairly busy trail and there he stood; seemingly as surprised to see us an we him. Really not the best of all ways to meet but he gave ground quickly and took off through the woods.
