Kristine and I went down to the Russian River yesterday. We didn't bring fishing poles, we just brought the camera. Friends of ours said there have been quite a bit of bears around the river. Grizzly bears! There were three cubs with the sow, all of them were pretty good sized bears, and they were NOT shy coming down the river. Luckily, they kept their distance, but Mama-bear sure kept a close eye on us!
