Fishing Bridge and Bears

Liz and I decided to spend some time hanging out on the bridge, taking in the evening, when a big grizzly bear decided to jump out of the woods. We had to laugh when the tourists standing in front of us were too busy looking at the beaver below them, when there was a huge bear only 50 yards to their left. We were a little nervous because it looked like the bear was about to come charging down the bridge, right towards us. Thankfully, he decided to run down to the river and swim across to a small island. It was pitiful to see a large group of tourists running at the bear as soon as he emerged from the woods, in hopes of a good picture. I'm pretty sure people decide to shut their brains off when they're here....tourists...
