AK

It's been a busy week in Alaska.  Last week they had one really good haul of about 10k pounds in a 24 hour period but then the next opener was not as good.

After the last opener they had three days off and hit it again today.  During their time off they hiked to the top of a mountain.  During the hike they saw TWO bears!

Drew was in the lead and came over a knoll and came within 15 feet of the biggest bear Susan had ever seen!  Drew described it as the size of a Honda Civic!  Susan said it had to be 300 pounds.  Luckily it took a drink and lumbered off.  See pic below of actual bear!

The next bear they came upon was about 20 yards from them BUT it started walking towards them!  Max and Eric took out their guns and Susan took out her horn and bear spray.  Apparently there was all kinds of giggling when Susan blew her horn right behind Max who had a gun in is hand!

Honda Civic bear!

This is the mountain they hiked to the top of where they saw all the bears
