Big bear near East Lake My husband and I have always enjoyed nature. No matter how many times we see Mother Nature’s wildlife it still amazes us. One day we decided to take a relaxing ride on our four-wheeler. We were riding slowly down a dirt road, enjoying the scenery, when we heard rustling in the bushes next to us. Hearing the noise, we both looked back. I yelled to my husband, “It’s a bear!” He shifted the four-wheeler to gain more speed. To my surprise the bear began to run about six feet beside us. Frightened of what the bear would do, I pulled my leg tight to the four-wheeler. We started laughing because in the desperate attempt to keep my leg in, I caught a cramp. Though we were laughing, we were scared. Our adrenaline was pumping from being so close to such a large animal. It followed us for about 15 yards and then it ducked back into the woods. My husband kept up the same speed as we road toward home in silence. Linda
