I am so excited I can bearly (har) type!!! WE SAW A GRIZZLY BEAR!!! SO CLOSE WE COULD HAVE TOUCHED IT ALMOST IF NOT FOR THE ELECTRIFIED FENCE!!! YES, THIS CALLS FOR MULTIPLE EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!! I mean, the bear, not the fence. Well, come to think of it, kudos to the fence too.
We were not in a zoo. We are currently in a campground in Banff National Park and this is a wild bear. The fence exists to protect the tent campers as this is a bear-frequented area. You can't even hike certain trails and some are off limits unless you travel in a tight group of four or more. Most of them are ravenous this time of year (a condition known as hyperphasia) and bent only on eating, but not eating humans. Whew! I don't blame them really. We probably taste like chicken.
Anyway, I'll dispense with the words because the pics are the best part. Also, I am on free public wifi and you know how that goes. I'd rather be sure to actually get this post loaded than be all Nathaniel Hawthorne and use 917 words where one paragraph would have done. Enjoy!
