Day 23 Butte MT Again!

Today was wet & cold, & the cloud base was so low you could almost reach up and touch it. Also, snow was forecast down to 7,000ft – below the altitude of the day’s route. So, for the second night, I remained in my least favourite place – Butte. It didn’t work out too badly – 3 days supplies obtained from a Walmart the size of three aircraft hangers, all photos taken so far safely uploaded to our home photo library (thank you Christine!), lots of FaceTime calls, a route check, & a thorough read of the Bear Safety booklet acquired from the Jefferson County Fair.

There is so much to learn about bears, where / where not to camp, what to do in case of an attack – it is impossible to remember everything, especially with the stress of such an event occurring. Maybe I should keep it to hand as a reference document for such an event. Should I choose the prescribed response for defensive bear attack when it is being predatory it would likely to be my last mistake, ever!
