Coppermine River Canoe Expedition    Up   Previous    Next

Coppermine River Canoe 1987: The campsite was covered with bear tracks. Shortly after the plane left, a big grizzly wandered into camp. I think he was startled as we were. With 10 of us including Alex who fired a couple of warning shots, he took off and did not return. I barely got the camera out and did not get a good picture. But if you look carefully, you can see that the brown smudge left of center in this photo is a bear.
