First Bear Sighting at Telegraph Cove

Our First Bear Sighting Was Certainly Unexpected–

We pulled into Telegraph Cove just to get some fuel. Jim and I have never been in this harbour. We heard it had been in the news not too long ago because there had been a big fire there that did a lot of damage. We were there only to get fuel, so we didn’t get the full scoop. It looked like things were looking up with renovated buildings in progress.

The bear sighting happened just outside the marina office when Jim ran into a big, black bear. He seemed to mind his own business and perhaps was used to people, but it certainly was a close encounter and unexpected.
