bear attacks just out side anchorage
one of our receptionist's brother-in-law failed to return from a hike yesterday, just near here. a group of his friends went up the same trail looking for him today......a brown bear mauled one of them, severe leg injury. other searchers found the missing man, who had been mauled and partly consumed ....presumably by this bear !
I don't know if he or any of them were armed......... if not, that's the same as not wearing your seat belt, you know, because statistically you almost never really need it...
really sad around here.
