It is an unusual day that we do not see a bear; we saw two on our trip to Big Meadows. I worry about bear-human conflict. We all know who wins.<br /><br />This was my first trip to Big Meadows; Ann has been there before. It is nearly two hours from our house so we have to be really motivated to drive that long to start our hike.<br /><br />I'm glad the wildflower pictures helped you; they are mainly to amuse me. The more I learn about identifying wildflowers, the less I think I know.<br /><br />Good rambles to you.Chef Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05093314323621833245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7459081303994947139.post-54195502156516993382016-07-31T17:22:09.383-07:002016-07-31T17:22:09.383-07:00I enjoyed reading about your trip to Big Meadows v...I enjoyed reading about your trip to Big Meadows very much and loved the photos. We were there today, loved all the wildflowers (you have helped me identify some and thank you for that as I am still learning) and the butterflies, and actually saw a bear as we were heading down the hill (via car) about to cross the road. We were going slowly of course and we were about 10 feet from the bear. Our eyes locked and as we passed we saw him amble across the road in the rear view mirror. There was no way to turn around and so no photo. He would have been in the trees by the time we could get back. The highlight of today's trip. We live about an hour-and-a-half from Big Meadows and come here in every season.DeniseinVAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08494518513936310345noreply@blogger.com
