A cute wooden bridge over a still body of water in a park. The scene is lush, rich and peaceful.

Other than the time one decided to join our campsite at 3am, every single time I’ve seen a #bear has been a beautiful experience, and I’m grateful for each peaceful meeting with these powerful animals. 🏕️🐻
(but please no more surprise 3am visits!)

This is such a good news story. Many people think our waterways are dumping grounds. It's possible that gear can be lost accidentally from a vessel, however. I'm just so happy for the whale & good folks who care! Awesome work! 🍁
