WE SAW A BEAR!!!

   


"YUKI!!!!"  we whispered.... "BEEAAARRR!!!!"

for some odd reason, in an area with zero cell coverage, yuki was buried deep in her phone unknowingly walking towards the brown bear that had stumbled upon our path.  when she finally looked up in shock, we had caught up to her and together, we tip toed in silence to film the most amazing sight in front of us.  the brown bear had continued on our hiking trail looking at us periodically while searching for food.  he came across a hikers backpack and hiking poles, sniffing around it then nibbling at the grass around it.  as he walked away from us, we intelligently tip toed towards him while whispering to each other in astonishment.   as if there were any more bear protocols to break, we continued to film on our cell phones all while my backpack was full of leftover sandwiches.

A 20-year-old woman was flown to an Anchorage hospital after she was mauled by a brown bear Tuesday near a popular recreation spot on the Kenai Peninsula.

The Alaska Dispatch News reports that responders were called to the Upper Skilak Lake boat launch after reports that a brown bear had attacked a woman.

Central Emergency Services Capt. Terry Bookey says the woman suffered bites and scratches to her head, back and arm. She was conscious and breathing when emergency personnel reached her and her injuries were not life-threatening.

"It sounds like she had some pretty significant injuries and will have a long road ahead of her," Bookey told the paper.

Bookey says the woman tried to use bear spray but found it did not help.
