Congratulations to you, John…for making this a good story and, for not calling the DNR…this bear was just curious and was not out to hurt anyone!
You did the right thing….and you will live with this beautiful memory for the rest of your life!
(Lucky you!)

I had a dream that I ate a giant marshmellow and when I woke up half my pillow was gone.
Hot debate. What do you think?
