“...a mother bear with two cubs and feel relieved.”
You probably WILL be relieved! Now change your shorts if you are wearing any!
Anyone who sees a mother bear with cubs on the trail and is “relieved” must live someplace I wouldn’t even want to visit carrying two sidearms and wearing a Kevlar vest...
I don’t freak out when I see mountain lion tracks on/beside the trail I’m hiking-but I do walk backwards out of there swinging a big stick and singing something like Dirty Deeds as loud as possible-most day hikers from the city that I’ve met on the trail go hysterical if you point out those tracks-and I always do-they are so oblivious to their surroundings-it is so much fun to watch...
