5/7/15 – I had to drive over to Ely a couple of days ago to pick up some freight. On the way home I encountered this little bear eating grass alongside the road. It was so absorbed, that it didn’t hear the truck coasting to a stop. Once Roy started barking though, it beat a hasty retreat. – Bill

Mamunur Adib and his friends sent along this charming video of their first ever BWCA Wilderness canoe trip last Memorial Day weekend. They had such a good time, they are already planning this year’s trip.
