Donavan and I plus two other hikers came across a momma bear with her three cubs right on the edge of the trail. They had no intentions of moving. We talked thinking that would move them, and then we moved in closer and the momma bear swatted her cubs and then growled at us. We kindly back up and sat and waited them out. It was close to 30 minutes before they moved down the mountain. A few minutes later Conlan came looking for us and on our way down the mountain was another bear with her three cubs. We took some more pics. Conlan found the perfect campsite except for the two bears hanging out there, so we walked up a little and decided that was a good place. Lo and behold there were another two bears. Then I noticed there was another bear on the other side of us. 13 Bears in a 20 minute time period is 12 too many bears for this momma and her boy cubs. We walked north for a little bit bf we set up camp. The boys did a great job removing ALL food from out site and putting it up in a tree way way down the hill. It was an experience to see them out in the wild and one that I am sure we will not see again anytime soon.
