I read the essay Wolf, Eagle, Bear: An Alaska Notebook over the weekend. It was an entertaining story about a group of ladies looking to hike and picnic when they discover that a bear was sited near the trail-head they were going. They then go through some stories from people the author knew about how bears react unpredictably in different situations. In the end, they decide to hike a different trail and end up finding evidence of bear in the area, which scares them off to a more "secure" park to have their picnic.

That essay seemed pretty exciting. The encounters that you have had with bears is also a very insightful. however i never want to get close to a bear unless it is a rug or hanging on a wall.
