Bear day

Well today was a busy and late day.  Sonja woke up first today and I slept in a bit longer until 10 or so.  Sonja did her work out and I surfed the web.  After she was done we did the dishes and decided to go for a hike.  We went to do the one that we were planning on doing yesterday.  So we went to Morgan lake to see the sights.  We got there and it was only a 10-15 minute hike into the bush.  We got to the lake and there is a little stream with a few straggler salmon making it to the spawning ground.  We were there watching the fish for a while and then we started to hear a sound that sounded like a dying cat.  Worse case scenario it was an angry bear.  I have never heard a bear but today was not the day I wanted to meet a hungry one.  So we decided to turn around and get out of there.

There is another trail that splits off and goes past the lake.  I was told that this trail would link up to the reservoir and and then to the trail that we were on yesterday.  We decided to take this and then head back into town the way we started yesterday.  So we started cutting our way through a few overgrown spots and we went past some ponds and streams.  We came around a corner and I saw a little black bear standing on the trail in front of us.  It was really cool.  He was facing the same way as us so he didn't see us.  I stopped Sonja and I started to back up and started to get out the camera and in doing so I stepped on a twig.  That scared him and he started trotting away.  We decided it would be best to turn around and go back the way we came.  I had my hunting knife so if he decided he wanted to fight us, I think I would have done pretty well.  But that never happened and we came home.

I had a sandwich for lunch and we spent the afternoon watching The Simpsons and Family Guy.  We were invited to have a fish fry/potluck on the beach this evening.  Unfortunately our plans had to change as a massive storm rolled in around 4:30, 5 o'clock.  It was a real good storm, complete with thunder, lightning, and hail.  It poured for almost an hour.  So our plans changes and we ended up going over to Kendra's place instead of the beach.  So I cooked up the rock fish that I had prepared and made some rice to go with it.  We played some phase ten after supper and it was probably the longest game ever.  We are home now and it is time for bed.

Sorry but I tried posting this, but I wasn't connected to the internet, so it didn't and I had to type it all out again.  So it is my second time and I feel it is not as good of a post.
