Yesterday Susan and I drove to Grande Prairie Alberta and back from Williams Lake..I STILL had my buddies coffe mug and wanted to return it..:eek:

We left at 5:30 am..:roll: drove to Grande Prairie Alberta and spent 30 minutes there..delivered the coffee cup..:D..and then drove home..arriving back in Williams Lake at 12:30 am..

The reason for this ????? On the way there and back we saw 15 different black bears..:eek:...most were small to medium...4 were brown in color..and two were in the 7 foot range...one was a HUGE brown colored blackie..

Most of the bears were seen along Mcleod lake North of Prince George...
