Bears oh my
Dave got lost by himself in the woods two days ago. When I got home from work he told me of his adventures in the woods and we discussed the need to buy some bear spray. As we discussed the topic, it became clear that we had been joined by a visitor on our front porch. A black bear was separating us from our front door. It was goofy looking, bow legged and quite mangey. We chased it off and decided that we should make an addition to that guy's movie who rides the moose on youtube and hug a bear.
I took fourteenth place in the anual 4 mile mud run. Not bad for having no idea where i was supposed to go. There is no path, just the mud flats when the tide goes out and streams up to your waist that you have to plunge through without loosing your shoes. Walmart velcro shoes got the job done yet again.
We met a mountain man on top of a mountain... named... mountain. He looks like a pirate captain and spends months at a time kye yack ing through southeastern alaska living off the land. Pretty nuts. We got his digits. I'll show you pictures.
much love from alaska
