He was ahead of me, and ran back screaming that a bear was right in front of us on the trail. To this day I don't believe him because I didn't see any proof of it. <BR/><BR/>He had his digital camera strapped around his neck, so I tried to explain that you are supposed to snap pictures first, then high tail it out of there, so you can back up your story!<BR/><BR/>The story and proof of it is always more important than personal safety! <BR/><BR/>(I'm just kidding, of course)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5906535565889002664.post-59114742369743669562007-05-29T10:24:00.000-06:002007-05-29T10:24:00.000-06:00Not to speak for Dean and Eric, but it did touch d...Not to speak for Dean and Eric, but it did touch down and trace the landscape for awhile after the picture was taken. Dean admittedly forgot to take pictures of the tornado proper, being more concerned with getting to some cover.Scott G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12574040735623325343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5906535565889002664.post-67101018889241299392007-05-29T09:02:00.000-06:002007-05-29T09:02:00.000-06:00Technically, that's just a funnel cloud.

We encountered a stretch of the trail where one would not want to be by themselves or would not want to camp for the evening.
