After enjoying the natural whirllpool swim, we returned to Sally’s Sunny Rock B & B for Happy Hour (remember it starts @ 5 & ends @ 6) I decided to change my clothes & freshen up before enjoying a glass of wine or beer (I can’t remember & no I wasn’t intoxicated!) While I was in the bathroom, I saw two black bears, the mother & her baby cub. Yikes!! Unfortunately my digital camera’s batteries were dead! To make matters worse, I tried to alert my girlfriend & Sally about these bears but it was too late!!! The bears vanished somewhere into the trees. However, it doesn’t mean they won’t return so keep those batteries charged/camera with you as you never know you might be able to catch them. Also don’t leave any food in your car!! If you happen to run into those bears, here are the instructions to protect yourself (according to Sally):
1. take your shirt off (not your pants but if you don’t have a shirt, then well…you don’t have much choice…
2. wave your shirt vertically – horizontally to distract the bear
3. make plenty of noise, don’t bother using American Sign Language (I’m deaf)..hee! hee!
4. DON’T RUN; bears love to chase;
5. If the above instructions didn’t work, at least you had fun at Sunny Rock B & B!
