I used to watch Les Bougons. That was a lot of fun. the first 8 episodes for season 1 were released on National Geographic between May 25th and June 15th , phase 1 was last year , the budget went over the 60 million dollar mark ----which did not go very well ,as the first year needed to build everything from scratch ---the clothes , the old villages etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get things done in Toronto, and you can always get a job, but for me the scenery is lacking. I missed the mountains of Ireland and Quebec. No problem finding mountains out here. yeah , it' true , you're in BC ---you got there just in time before the boom hit --it's a nature wonderland , 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you and @RandyH000 should get a room. 😉 Actually, I find your Canadian banter interesting, but since Birmingham, MI is sort of suburban Windsor, Ontario, I probably don’t count. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to canoe in the boundary waters (Minnessota/Canada). Such a beautiful area. Head north from Ely, MN, across into Canada. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less than once a week. Seriously. They do like to chase mountain bikers, to test their speed, apparently. Or for a quick snack. This bear may be thinking, "There's some food. If I follow it, maybe it will lead me to some more food." 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 American bears like people. too. Sometimes they will follow a man walking.. Maybe they'd already had enough cardio for the day, and were leaving the bikers alone until tomorrow. The comments on this video are pretty funny.

Well it snowed all day until the next morning and we woke up and it looked like this. He was surprised, and we were for sure. It turned out the road to get out and everything around was covered and no way to get off the mountain for 3 days, we were snowed in, a first for us Southerners. This was the next day and the other pic is the driveway to get out the next morning. We did have a great time, the grand kids sledded down the driveway it was plenty deep enough, couldn't drive on it for sure. And the view from the porch.

Now all he can smell is active food: you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
