Back in the summer (you can tell its a bit chilly over here and an afternoon catching up on the blog has proved much more appealling than helping Mr R rearrange the garage!)...anyhoo.. back in the summer top chums Simon and Tess journeyed across the pond for some hiking, wine tasting, food and general all round good times!
Have spent most of the summer jabbering on about how fantastic the weather is here of course it rained for the few first few days and we had unseasonable cold temperatures - it was a bank holiday weekend so it was a very British welcome :) !
Being chilly we very logically took them up Silver Star Mountain in 8C - sorry guys! But on the plus side we did get to see our very first bears! They post any bear sightings on the board as you enter the trails but we had been there before and not seen a sausage (which was okay by me!) but this time we met a few people coming down the trail who flagged up to us that there were definately a mum and cubs in the area (very Canadian - not letting you walking to the jaws of a pissed off mummy bear without warning!).
We turned a couple of corners and eagle eyed Mr R spotted a older cub off the side of the trail and then further on we saw the mum and the younger cub - sooo cute and just far away enough to be on the non-knee trembling side of scary!
This the photo - sorry, crap camera and then battery ran out- but there is a bear in it, honest!
Yay! Bears!....and they didn't eat us...result!
