July 8, 2010April 16, 2014 Marlene 5 Comments Bear Encounters, Glacier Country, Life is an Adventure, Wildlife
Grizzly Bear at Yellowstone National Park

We were on the road between Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton when we saw the bear jam.  We figured it was a bear jam, at least I did.  But, it could have been buffalo, elk, or moose.  Buffalo had caused a major traffic jam earlier in the day when they insisted on taking their good […]

Bear Charges Trail Riders!

June 26, 2009May 21, 2013 M and E Leave a comment Bear Encounters, Life is an Adventure, M & E's Excellent Adventures

  We returned from our hike to Iceberg Lake feeling exhausted and a little sore. I plunked down at the picnic table, removed my socks and shoes, and gave my feet a self-massage. I knew I shouldn’t get too comfortable because we were going horseback riding, and that meant we had to leave as soon […]

Dust, Dips, and Bear Tracks!

May 29, 2009September 12, 2012 M and E Leave a comment Bear Encounters, Camping, Life is an Adventure, M & E's Excellent Adventures

On a warm Saturday, we began packing our supplies in preparation for our camping trip. The supposed destination was Bowman Lake, a large lake in the northwestern part of Glacier. Dad’s plan this summer was to go to new places and do new things. Camping in this far away place was very different. Anyway, we […]

Grizzlies on the Prowl! How to Identify Bears Video

May 28, 2009September 25, 2014 Marlene 2 Comments Bear Encounters, video

The bears are out and about again and making the news! They have been roaming around the valley killing chickens on Foothill Road, and taking cover from border collies in a basement in Choteau.   While on a recent outing to the Sun Road, Grandpa Davey captured some great video of a black bear, which […]

What Do Bears Really Do in the Woods?

April 9, 2009March 4, 2015 Marlene Bear Encounters

Last week, I teased you by telling you that the bears had come out of hibernation and that I had a video of one in action, only to direct you to Youtube to be Rick Roll’d. Actually, bears have been spotted lately and as usual reporters have given their public awareness announcement of taking precautions […]

Jenna and Johann Otter Return To Glacier

December 8, 2008May 22, 2012 Marlene Bear Encounters, Marlene's This and That

  We were no more than 10 minutes from home visiting a bird sanctuary with our homeschool nature journal group. It was a damp, dreary, autumn day and only 4 mothers with their children had shown up. Even though close to home, it was my first time in the Sowerwine.     The group followed […]

Too Much to Bear

September 30, 2008August 10, 2012 M and E Leave a comment Bear Encounters, Life is an Adventure, M & E's Excellent Adventures

This article is a lesson to all bears: Don’t go into town, or this might happen to you.     Our studies were finished at last, so we decided to take a walk. Maybe there would be a little adventure outside of the boring life at home. As we started out on our walk we […]
