Special Edition: Hey There, Grizzly Bear!

We bring you this special edition of the blog due to the fact that it will be another week before we get a chance to write and we didn't want people waiting in suspense. After Ashley's parents came up we spent the rest of the week working and resting. We needed to get some much needed sleep before our fourth and final guest Sydney Sipos (Ashley's friend) comes up to visit us. Luckily for us it was easy to spend the weekend in the cabin because it poured and poured here. So much rain! All weekend longgggg. On Tuesday morning we had the sneaky hints of a beautiful morning so we wanted to go for a hike and pick some blueberries. Ashley was super excited to get out of the cabin and try out her new hiking pack. As you can see from the pictures below she was having fun...

Blue Steel.

 

 

Unfortunately, due to a huge oversight on our part the trail was complete mud. Oh, did we mention the trail was completely uphill? We got about 20 feet up the trail and after some serious slipping and sliding we decided to call it quits. So we went into town and ran errands instead.

 

However, later in the week we had some more excitement. The salmon have started to run in our streams and with the salmon come the bears. The past few weeks we have had one grizzly bear in particular that likes to hang out and eat our fish. She is not aggressive in any way, she just goes about her day. Often she can be seen off our viewing decks splashing around in the water, playing with driftwood and trying to catch salmon. We were lucky enough to catch her the other day and got some great shots of her that we wanted to share.

That was quite an afternoon watching her splashing around in the water. After that we got back to our regular lives and await the arrival of Sydney Sipos. More to come in about a week.
