We’ve had a rainy weekend in Delta. Hmmm, that sounds like the makins’ to a good country song. I know, I know. I’m in Alaska and you people want to see Alaska and all I can post are photos of dirt piles, chickens, and moose poop. I get that. But, in my defense, these Alaskan mountains have been entirely obscured almost every day since we’ve been here. Ohhh but today the clouds rolled back and I got a full on view of the glory. Of course, I didn’t have my camera with me. HOWEVER, during the rainy weekend, we loaded up and traveled up the rocky roads until we were close to the base of Donnelly Dome. This time, I brought my camera.
The bears like to hang out on and around it because of all the good blueberry pickins’. From a distance the vegetation looks soft and low, but upon closer inspection, I found that the brush is in fact the complete opposite and something you wouldn’t want to wander through.
There’s no tellin’ what could be in there. Each time we got out of the truck we all hollered, “Hey bear, hey bear, hey bear!” The key in avoiding being mauled by a bear is to avoid surprising them. They don’t want to run into you either so if you make a lot of racket, chances are they will run off without you ever knowing how close to death you were. What a great comfort.
First of all mooses running is a very awkward sight. They don't seem meant to run. Anywhere. Secondly, is it mooses? meese? mice nope that can't be right LOOK I don't know what the plural is. It's a hard one. It's been a problem for me for a while. Thirdly, ya'll look very cute and all, but please don't go to THE BLUEBERRY PATCH WHERE BEARS LIKE TO "HANG" AND GET POSSESSIVE OVER THEIR BLUEBERRIES N STUFF. HEY BEAR HEY BEAR HEY BEAR IS REALLY NOT A GREAT WEAPON. Thanks. Seriously.
ReplyDeleteIt IS real awkward isn't it?! I didn't want to say nothin' for fear that I might hurt their little moose feelings but come you moose! Gimmie a break already! Go get a cartoon or somethin' and stop running people over and gashing them up with your dang hooves! This is getting ridiculous. Let us just be friends already! You know you want to!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the HEY BEAR not being an actual weapon. I get that. I agree with that. We went 4 wheeler riding the other day and I had my bear spray but at one point it was getting pretty wooded and I say to Chuck...I say..."get us out of here Chuck, this is just irresponsible, coming out here with no gun." So we got out of there. People think it is silly around here but I mean they HAVE BEARS here! So, I am cautious. Sue me. Just don't eat me, bear.
As far as hiking up the dome, people do it all the time. There are church groups that do it. I told Chuck we can go when he gets a very large group together and some guns.
