Definitely no “brownie” points for this one.

It was originally to be called the Lewis and Clark and Crockett expedition.

We bearly knew him

“Maybe it’s grandma. … What big hairy hands you have, grandma.”

Be Gent-le with him.

He couldn’t ‘bear’ the suspense much longer …. and he didn’t have to.

Mmmmmmm…….bear claws!!

I think that if the bear knew about the STD levels of the L and C expedition members he would leave them alone.

Peek-a-Boo was never the same

That was the late K’lou Les, a member of the expedition.

At a visitors’ center presentation, a ranger was talking about a soldier who had written of an encounter with a grizzly. The soldier wrote that when he encountered the bear and saw that it was aggressive, he laid down his rifle and promptly left the area. The ranger laughed and said what that really meant was that the soldier had screamed and thrown his rifle and had then run like the wind to get out of there. Yeah, I believed the ranger’s version.

I’ll be he is also eating a slice of sheep dung pie (“Almost Heroes”)

Of all the Great American explorers, Lewis was the greatest of a maul.

Looks like the end of the trail.

And from then on it was known as the clark expedition.

It will get narrowed down if they ask for a nail file, or not.

Recorded incidents include being treed by a grizzly.

Bear hunting eh. Why you little… Lets him have it, bear.
