We’ve been working hard, so Krystal and I took an evening off to drive up to the Vince Shute Bear Sancturary west of Orr, Minnesota. There were few bears around, but we were lucky enough to see a momma bear with four cubs! She brought them out right after we got there and they were just coming down when we left, three hours later.

I’ve seen quite a few bear cubs but never four at once so that was a huge treat. It was neat to be close enough (and safe enough, up on a viewing platform) to actually hear her “tell” the cubs to come down with quiet grunts.

We are so lucky to live in such a wild place where seeing such things are possible. It makes up for the sub-zero winters! — Jackie
