Adder to this morning's post...

 

  About 10 minutes after that photo,  I gathered my things and headed for the trail down.

As I walked along the ridge I decided to peruse the end of the out cropping of granite that 

extended past the break in the tree line for the trail.

As I walked over, I was startled when I came face to face with a smallish black bear that 

was making his/her way up the far side of the of the rock. 

It was probably a yearling. The size of a large dog. He/she was startled and turned tail and 

ran back to the woods. I retreated back to the trail and kept an eye on my 6. Making sure

it wasn't still hanging around with Mom. 

That is the first time I have come in contact with any wild life on my adventures. There are signs

of deer and moose but nothing else. Quite the interesting morning start to the day for sure.

My phone was in my pocket and the encounter lasted a few seconds so no chance to get photos to share. 

I have to wonder it the bear would have walked up on me as I was sitting enjoying the morning sun.

That would have been interesting. 

 

Stop back later if you like

It's Friday , don't ya know.
