1st hike with the man I've now been with for 15 years. "Shh!" he motioned me to get down. On our bellies we peeked over the hill we'd been crossing. There was an adolescent grizzly bear probably 50 yards away, eating roots. We watched for about 10 minutes, until the bear moved downhill/downstream and out of sight. I assumed we'd be going back to the car, going home. Grizzly bear! "The bear went that way," he said, pointing. "And we're going up there. We'll be fine." Long long pause.

I followed him into the woods.
This made me laugh out loud
