As we were driving along to the next city, a bear jumped out in the middle of the road and put his claws up! My driver didn’t slow down and I yelled “Hey, there’s a bear in road!” and he just calmly says “No problem… Bear will move…” and I said “Yes, problem, bear in road!” Then, just as we were about to hit the bear, it jumped out of the way into the bushes.

Black_bear“What was that?!” but my driver offered no explanation. Another mile down the road a second bear jumped out!

This time the driver stepped on the gas to let the bear know he means business and as the bear jumped out of the way, I looked closely and saw that it was on a leash and there was a guy in the bushes holding it.

Wow, what a trick!
Trying to bear-jack a car!

(I know the picture shows a guy next to the bear, but between the fast driving and the trying to take a picture, I didn’t notice him until we passed)
