NPR/NGS RADIO EXPEDITIONS DAT 3 Landmark Trees Log reporter Chris Joyce 7/21/98 :19 walking into meadow and approaching river we hope to cross to get to tree stand :33 RC- a couple of little spruce trees we will cut through on the way but for the most part we will be out in the open G :46 walking through meadow - some mike handling noise - 2:17 level change - louder 2:24 RC - nice mashed down swath of sedges and beach pea where a big animal came through 2:30 more walking - some mike handling noise , but good otherwise 3:40 RC - some of this brush is over our head and I can¿t see real far here I am kind of curious if the wind is carrying our scent ahead of us or blowing it back 3:51 let¿s flick this lighter and se which waythe wind is blowing - oh, ok CJ - looks like it is coming from behind us RC - not real strong - NOT GOOD - prob w/machine 4:41 CJ - so, when youare walking in high grass like this and a bear pops up what is the plan of action? RC - well,we stay together, and if it stands up it is not an aggressive pose, it is just checking us out and we will - if it is at a medium distance say 50 yards, 100 yards, kind of wave our arms and say high and identifies us. 9 times out of 10 it will turn around and head off. Brown bears are really dignified. A lot of times they will act as though they don¿t care about you and go back to grazing and that is kind of sobering thing - to have a bear look at you and just stay put, but that is more of a saving face kind of thing, and inthat case we would kind of wait it out, let it do its thing and try and work around it. The ideal situation here is that we don¿t see anything and we go do our business and don¿t disturb anybody. 5:52 5:53 CJ - so, maybe we should make some noise at this point RC - we are getting to the point where something could be laying down w/in 30 yards from us and we wouldn¿t know 6:08 SS - hey bear! CJ - yo bear! 6:42 - walking in the meadow - some talking in bg - more talking NG 8:46 RC - these spruce are on our side of the stream - we are going to cut through those and the stream - there is a meander on this side (NG bc you can hear me in bg say yoohoo!) 9:18 SS - ah oh! VG through some bear calls and walking through meadow - rain through 10:12 10;13 RC - the whole we have been in one - a bear trail 10:29 at the river - 10:56 RC - a little off mike - you know what I am going to do is put my boots on w/o my socks and I can piggyback some folks if it is not enough current CJ - you are not going to piggyback me! 11:44 RC - let me see what it is for depth¿. 12:50 good walking in river (maybe we can use this over and over for a bit) RC - 12:55 - it is as deep as it can get - no sweat - no current - walking in water - 13:19 RC - who is first? CJ - I am going to come over on my own END OF RIVER SCENE 14:10 RC - well, that was easier than we thought¿all we had to do was wade it and we are now about I guess a quarter mile...
