Bear Encounters

Our families closest encounter to bears this year....

 I can now breath a sigh of relief....... for 2 weeks I have gone to bed hoping for the best but always thinking the worst.  The unknown was just about driving me crazy but this evening I was beyond ecstatic to get a  call from Jason! He was on top of Mt. Whitney, with spotty cell service, but enough to tell us he was safe and on his way down.  His backpacking trip of over 200 miles will be complete in just a few hours after the decent of Whitney.  I'm glad the bears steered clear.
