There were many fun and exciting memories from the Yosemite class trip.
My
favorite memory of all of them was the encounter with the bears. It was
a very exhilarating fifteen or twenty minutes. Those were also a few of
my favorite pictures. We were doing a group activity on the bank of one
of the streams when someone in our group yelled that they saw a bear on
the other side. Everyone ran to get closer to them. The "mom" bear was
a blonde black bear. Our entire group started taking pictures of the
bear and soon after that, its cub as well! They were traveling
together throughout the forest most likely looking for some people
food when we spotted them. After awhile our group leader started to
call us back to her because we kept moving closer and closer to the
bear and it was crossing the stream onto our side. our leader was
apprehensive about the bear, because she feared it would attack because
it had its small cub along. We followed the bear for a short distance,
making sure to keep our space from it.
The reason that this was this is my favorite
memory is primarily due to the fact that we were the only group to see
a bear on the entire trip. It gave us bragging rights and original
pictures to use. In addition, it gave us an easy subject to write
about as our favorite memory assignment. The bear was an extreme animal
to stumble upon. This one was very special because it was a
blonde-yellow color. It may not seem very interesting, but being that
it was a blonde black bear, it was quite ironic. animals in their wild
state is an alluring occasion. I would love to see an undomesticated
bear again.
