Hmmmm...you bear sighting and subsequent exclamations were much like my "MOOSE! MOOSE!" Perhaps your code word for a bear way off in the distance should be, "Yogi! Yogi!" LOL!! Keep up the great work Claude!! Loving the journals!

HI Michele,With any luck I will be on my way soon sans Satellite phone so the
journey home will be posted from the comfort of a hotel room or God
willing my house. The salmon are running so the bears are around more
and more - perhaps I will get to put my new bear call skills into play!
blue skies,
Claude
