Am I the only one that thinks the Rams will blow out the Bengals?
I hope the Bengals win cuz I hate all LA sports teams. And, to each their own, but I won't watch none of the halftime show and could give a rat's arse about any of those performers or their so-called music. I personally yearn for the days of a great classic rock band or two for the show.
 
Please tell us the grizzly story…if no one was hurt.
No one was hurt, other than maybe my feelings because I was so scared.

My wife and I were hiking to St Mary Falls, typical trail with a lot of bends. As we were approaching one we heard someone yelling at us but couldn’t tell what they were saying.
They were coming from the opposite direction and were up higher so they could see us.

They kept yelling and I finally thought they said “bear behind you” so we started walking faster. Then they got really loud and said “No, turn around, a bear is coming toward you.” Just before turning I saw the grizz on the trail.

You’re not supposed to panic but I was probably pretty close. We walked as fast as we could without running. But my wife can’t walk real fast so that didn’t help my mental state.

We both got our bear spray out and were to spray if needed. I kept looking back but couldn’t see him because of the bends. I was sure that sucker was taking the shortcut through the brush to us.

The worst part was probably when after a bit I yelled to the other group and ask where he was. They said “he’s right behind you.”
Thankfully he wasn’t interested in us and eventually went another direction.

We all met back at the trailhead and found out there were others there watching it all and waiting til he was gone before they started.

They said he was about 50 feet from us a good bit of the time. I don’t think he was that close or I would’ve seen him when looking back.

I no longer like hiking in bear country without other people around.
 
I don't care for the Rams, but I would be happy to see Stafford win one. Dude got beat to heck in Detroit for forever and never complained.

I know stafford is a Dawg but he’s a good dude and waited a long time in a **** organization for this. Him and Cooper Kupp are the only two reasons I wouldn’t hate seeing LA win.
 
Yeah that would be greatly appreciated
Times are from Kanab and these are in no particular order. I suggest you check these out for yourself and not just take my word.

North Rim of Grand Canyon. Not nearly as crowded as South Rim, but also not as many overlooks and hikes. But the ones there are every bit as spectacular. For a bonus we saw bison on the way in. About 1 1/2 hours away.

Horseshoe Bend near Page, AZ. A little over an hour away. Page also has other cool things but we couldn’t do them. I’ll send more later.

As long as there is 1 person is slower than you no worries (your wife skipped this hike)

While elk hunting in Wyoming, we saw a grizzly that stood over 10’ on his hind legs. He was about a 100 yards from us on horseback.
We hung two elk that day, and that bastard pulled them both down that night. It snowed that night as well and he walked 3’ from where I slept in our tent!!
 
Yeah that would be greatly appreciated
Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park.

Belly of the Dragon. Coolest thing. There’s a trail on the other side that goes to a spot where there are hundreds of cairns built by hikers. This picture is from the Belly.

Moqui Caverns. You want the one that’s down from a different one that requires an entrance fee. You’ll need to research it. This one has no fee.

It’s a short hike but you have to scramble up some rocks. That’s part of the fun for older kids. Younger ones may not be able to.

Kanab Creek. A cool little slot canyon to wade through water.

Red Hollow Slot Canyon.

And of course we also did Zion and Bryce. The ladies spent part of a day volunteering at Best Friends Animal Society. And oldest grandson and his dad went canyoneering.

Hope this helps.
