  4. I remember very well in 1970, looking at a glacier near Mt. Rainier, when we spotted a rather large black bear running up the slope away from us, faster than I could have fallen the other direction. Saw right away, you'd have zero chance running from a bear....

  5. best view of a grizzly is the view of the bottom of his tail going over the ridgeline two ridges away. the friend i used to take with me was a .30-06 and i think i was under-armed at that.
    but this is what to expect when you build your house on top of some one else's dinner plate. idiots.
