Oh my gosh! I am glad I have never encountered a bear. Especially a female with cubs!!!!
I love to see deer {but they can be mean,too, if you aren't careful} and the coyote. They are getting quite bold, though, with people bribing them for pictures.
Aw, it seems we will miss each other. We normally go the end of March but schedules aren't permitting that.
Those times are still beautiful. Last March, we enjoyed lovely heavy snowfall. We hiked in it and it was awesome!
