    Wow, Frank, what a journey. I really enjoyed the read and your photos are also spectacular. Damn, shooting a 10mm handgun at a charging Grizzly. Fuck, you can keep that. I had a little black bear piss on my tent once when I was canoeing in Canada and that was excitement enough. Glad your back in one piece and it sounds like a good bit better off in the soul for the experience.
