Well, today’s run was more exciting than usual.
I came around a bend and found myself face to face with a large black bear about 30 feet away. We both seemed equally surprised. He stopped, looked at me, calmly turned around and headed back into the woods.
I’ve been coming to our cabin in the Adirondacks every summer for 14 years and somehow this was my first bear sighting here.
I’ve been thinking about it all day. Encounters like this are a reminder of why I love it here so much. The wildness, the quiet, and the feeling that nature is still very much in charge.
The Adirondacks are AWESOME . 🌲🐻.
