Does a Bear Crap in the Woods?

The answer to the age old question is.... not necessarily, unless its 10' feet away from a Lazy Daze Motorhome (us) and even closer to the driver side door (me).



This grizzly did not have a care in the world, just give me and my 2 cubs some more danbdelions to eat. This beauty and her youg'uns were found roadside along the Alaskan Highway just south of Beaver Creek, YT and about 10' feet away from our motorhome. We were driving along, minding our own business, when a southbound traveler alerted us to the presence of a mother grizzly and two cubs some 1 to 2 miles ahead. This made our day!

I'll keep it short today and let these grizzly photos entertain you.
Click on them for a full screen view, they're pretty darn good, if I do say so myself. Enjoy!





Off to Copper River/Chetina/McCarthy and the Wrangell-Elias NP, the largest NP in North America for a few days and then on to Valdez and Anchorage.

Stay tuned.....
