For so many things. No, not even when I could do it would I want to bicycle through Denali, especially not after what I saw that day. Since I saw that I have investigated and it has happened before. On YouTube I saw a cyclist in Russia recently with one of those helmet cams. His companion was flying down a wooded trail and a big bear came running in from the side but he got away, even though the bear tried to cut him off further down the hill. Never knew they would ever do that, the bears. I guess I know now.DeniseinVAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08494518513936310345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5647334797160181392.post-30938761575037129202018-06-25T21:59:01.931-04:002018-06-25T21:59:01.931-04:00Hi John, and there are so many of these posts of m...Hi John, and there are so many of these posts of mine, it is really easy to get out of sequence.

ANd I guess that was since we were later in the season (we were there from mid-June through August).... that is also maybe why the bears weren't as hungry, since they'd been awake longer!

That is...OH WOW.....on the bear and the bike rider. That is so scary. He was one lucky guy that the bus was there when it was. You got some really great pics of all the wildlife but esp some great close ups of the bears! The building around here has picked up so much that the critters that normally lived off away from people are moving in closer. Never would we have seen bobcats, cougar, bear or fox out about us but all that has changed. Great vacation, thanks for taking me along.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10211965720334593365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5647334797160181392.post-73656963303932060192018-06-23T10:17:12.774-04:002018-06-23T10:17:12.774-04:00Thanks Debbie, so glad you have enjoyed my posts o...Thanks Debbie, so glad you have enjoyed my posts on Alaska.
