Of Snakes and Bears

Latest video from our trip. Leaving Eastern Oregon via the Grand River. Ran into some wildlife!

Hey there guys!

I've always had the fear that while touring in the wilderness, I would turn sharply on the road and run into a family of hungry bears.

I've also had a recurring nightmare of being jumped by a mountain lion while riding in a narrow forest valley...

PS.

I always wake up just before the actual attack!

Thanks for the update. I really enjoy your videos, very nicely done.

Love that part of Oregon/Washington. I've done a couple of week-long rafting trips on the Grande Ronde, taking out there at Boggan's Oasis. Nice little spot.
