Cousin time!

Our hike to Snowshoe for an overnight camp turned into quite the adventure. We came upon a bear on our path around 10:30pm. It was dark and we had to drop all our gear and run back 5 miles to the car. We didn't have our keys or phones etc so we had to wait the night in the camp kitchen until the rangers came in the morning. Let's just say it was a long cold uncomfortable night.
