Camping-Lions, and Tigers, and Bears Oh My!

We decided that if we wanted to go camping this summer, we just had to do it and get on it before we ran out of summer.  It seems as if the summer months are flying by at an alarming pace.  We decided to head up above York, MT for a night.  It was a lot of fun. We had plenty of smores and hot dogs. We topped the morning off with pancakes and bacon. The kids and I headed up in the afternoon to find our camp spot at Vigilante campground.  We got there and got the tent set up along with the beds and sleeping bags.  The kids had a ball and got very very dirty, so mission accomplished.  Bryce was in the dirt all the time and even tried a piece of dog food he found on the ground.  He spit it out luckily.  I decided I should go for a run on Saturday morning and lo and behold I saw a little black bear cross the road ahead of me, so I made a quick u-turn and headed back up the road.  He didn't even see me and I didn't wait to see if there was mama with him.  My thought as I saw the bear was, wow that is a big black cat, then wait, that isn't a cat.  Is that a jaguar? (because we have a lot of jaguars in Montana)  I think I had been thinking of mountain lions at that point, so I'm guessing that is where the random jaguar came in. Then it dawned on me that it was a bear.

How fun. I miss York. Looks like your little family is making great memories. Your running experience sounds familiar.
