>> My husband called me tonight from a gold mine where he works
But YOU’RE not a gold digger, right? :-)
Interesting story. Including the fact that the “guard gate” is FIFTY MILES from the mine!

Yes, the guard gate is about ten miles from where I live and then a bus takes the guys to the mine. It is one of the largest in the world - Pogo.

Some days you get the bear, other days the bear gets the cariboo.

They only let certain trucks up there so I guess they have a CB system.

I’m thinking the bear must have been chasing the caribou and the truck “interfered” with the chase. The driver is very lucky that the bear didn’t decide to up the menu from caribou to long pig.

I’ve seen ones in Denali that looked as big as a small horse (600 - 700 lbs I’m guessing).

“The driver is very lucky that the bear didnt decide to up the menu from caribou to long pig.”
You think that’s an “up”? Don’t you know all the nasty stuff long pig puts into it’s body? The bear’s probably health conscious and wanted something more organic.
