    Glad you liked it, Josh! We saw one grizzly: he walked right into our camp. I was getting out of my tent to “water the plants” at twilight, saw him, ducked back into my tent, and accidentally pushed down on my big can of bear pepper spray and blasted it all over my tent and sleeping bag! I dove out of the “cloud” and quickly looked to see the bear left because of all my commotion! :-) On a fishing trip in south Alaska we saw ~50 grizzlies, and in Denali I was head-on charged by a big one.

    It was in August. Great time of year to be up above the Arctic Circle since the weather is nice, still plenty of sunlight, and the fishing is great.
