The beginning of May found us atop some new terrain, looking for what most folks try to avoid: bears. As you can tell by the snow, we were a little early for the area, so our bear sightings came in at a grand total of: 1. We had a fun chase, but that bear was not to be had this spring. Maybe he'll stick around 'til this fall or next year... 
Our next adventure took us to a new-found spot for falling birch trees that will provide wood for our beloved wood stove this winter. Though it was just a one-load day trip in my Ol' Blue Toyota, it provided a few days worth of work for Scott as he split and stacked it.
A second trip back to "Grizz Ridge" later that month brought a little more excitement and wildlife, with a couple close enounters with bears and... ptarmigan?
And lastly, the month came to a close with Scott's annual Proving Trail Adventures' Youth Hunt. Three bears were taken on this trip, but you'll have to ask this rugged bunch for the details...
