Great post on God's country Marco!!!!

You are braver than me--in 2001 I had a Grizz encounter(200 yds).
As I was watching my back cast not to snag on some grass,a grizz stood up behind me!! Nearly peeeed myself..

I bit off the tippet and as I waded accross the stream,I broke down the rod in two(better to run with .

Reached the other side and ran/fast walked 1 mile to the car in waders!!
Now that was the Mother of ALL stress tests for this ole body!!!
