Bear Bells On

Up this morning and got ready to take a hike in the woods. We have been warned about the bear issues so Tom and I picked up some bear bells yesterday. So off we went to this huge park within the city to find the trails. We were met with this sign at the gate.

 

There are several workout stations along the edge of the park. Jen and Tom tried this one out.

From here we headed into the woods. We sounded like a sleigh ride with our bear bells jingling.

A beautiful park with an abundance of wild raspberries to eat along the way. But thankfully no bears.

We ended up at the far side of this park and stopped for a picnic lunch before trying to figure out how to get back to the car.

After about a 7 mile hike we found our way back to the car. Tired and ready to head home for a cold beer.

Another great day in Ft Mc. Until next time - safe travel.

  1. Those wild raspberries are actually there for the bears to eat and they get kind of upset when they see humans eating their food. Keep ringing those bells.
    Be Safe and Enjoy!

    It's about time.

  2. We definately kept an eye out for bears. There are a lot of them up there. We had bear bells and spray both just in case. The raspberries however were too yummy to resist.
