Makes it a little exciting when you walk out of your trailer and there is a bear twenty feet away from you.
That's about all it would take and my wife would never go camping with me again! 3 years ago my friend and I took off to go deer hunting, and as we were pulling into the campsite that we usually stay in, 2 bear cubs went running across the campsite. Needless to say, we just stayed in the truck for a good 30 minutes. Never did see mama bear though.
The funny part to the story, was after seeing the bear I went back into the trailer to tell my wife about it and instantly she rolled all of the windows shut. She must of used both arms, both legs to do so becase from the outside it sure looked like all of the windows shut exactly at the same time. My brother made a lot of noise and scared the bear away. I had never seen someone do that but it seemed to work. When he was yelling at the bear I could of swore he said, "Hey bear, come over hear and take a bite!" Perhaps that is what I was thinking would happen since he was making all of this noise. Anyway, Kings Canyon is a lot of fun. Nice little river and very cool scenery.
