[pct-l] my 2 cents with scary sounds

[meadowed at comcast.net (ed)]

Way back when i was a dumb hiker. I went to visit the chef at Colter Bay in
the Tetons who i had worked for at the Awahnee in YNP. When Tony finished
his shift at work he drove me AND a box of fried cjicken up to Yellowstone
for i hiked in to a secret set of hot tubs. I ate, pitched and crawled
inside my tent....AND then the crying began...crying, snivling, weeping, and
i jumped up thinking    WHAT the hell!!!!!I go outside in the dark still
hearing this c, s, and w-ing then realize its from the tree overhead of my
tent.......now the c, s, and w-ing is mixed in with my own c, s, and w-ing.
Thinking, oh shit, a pair of bear cubs up in the tree overhead.......Well i
shined my light up in the tree and saw two pairs of eyes looking down at
me.....Now i was dumb taking chicken with me BUT smart enough to realize the
eyes were set wrong to be bears.....No they were a pair of porupines !!!!!


Next time another adventure with Moose, coyotoes and a bull elk in rut with
his pack of does........
