Grizzly (Wo)man

This weekend while hiking in the St. Croix State Park, I ended up with more excitement then I bargained for. It seems that a black bear decided he would also go hiking on the same trail that I was - color me scared! Fortunately (for me), the bear ran off away from me. The state park staff thought it was cool that I saw a bear, which was not quite the thought that I had (I would have preferred to see leaf-eating deer).
Fortunately, my hiking trip the next day in Afton State Park was a lot less eventful - only human wildlife encountered.
