Christopher E...
thanks very much charles, treasure, john and carpenter, it was so awesome hanging out? with this animal, and she definitely kept an eye on us around her and her cub, as long as we stayed away from tree cub was in, she was (semi) ok with it, she really wanted cub down, but wasnt allowing it with us there, so she kept walking around trying to get us to follow her..and yes they will get you to follow, and while you Think you’re following, they backtrack and move on

thanks very much all, candid..this is mama bear, she had been crossing back and forth on road, trying to get us to follow her and get us away from her cub, i think she crossed like four/five times before realizing we were going to stand in our spots, when they cross the road, they do it Quick! lol id say…two steps at a regular pace, and they are across…lol
