 | This is a great picture of
        Norma Jean and her cub. It looks as though they are enjoying the view from the banks of
        Mikfik Creek. Do you see the other bears in the background fishing? I think I count three
        bears. |

 | This is "Rollie" with two of her three cubs. The
        other cub is just to the right of the picture. She would sit on the side of the cliffs
        overlooking Mikfik Creek to make sure no male bears came too close to her cubs. When she
        would see us, she would bring her cubs down and hang out by the creek. She knew we offered
        her a little protection because the big males were not comfortable around us. |  
        | 
 | While waiting for their mother to catch some fish, two cubs
        play in the creek. The cubs were fun to watch because they were so full of energy. |

 | I love this picture! This is "Teddy" and she loved
        to come hang out with us. She often got so close that you thought she was our pet. Here
        she is "checking us out" as we do the same to her. |

 | I don't know who this is, but this bear was sniffing us in
        the air. After 3 days without a shower I am sure we all smelled pretty good. |

 | The view from the Mikfik Creek viewing area. The campground
        area is in the distance. It would take us about 45 minutes to hike here every morning. |  |
