maldon > They allowed Matt outside briefly, but only on the porch. My wife Karen looked apprehensively through the window, and Ian Thorleifson, the Icelandic-born guide, stood guard. The shotgun was loaded.
maldon > Linda Besse stayed inside, doing research for her paintings, while husband Jim and the others went off into the cold.
maldon > This is Mike Reimer's "working" belt. Sheath knife, Leatherman multi tool and a "bear repellant" spray. Other people use the super modern shotgun, but Mike likes his old reliable single shot. A few days before we arrived, he met a bear out near the machinery shed. Dakota the Labrador barked, others in the lodge came out and started yelling and Mike picked up a fist-sized rock and threw it at the bear's nose. Fortunately, the bear just dropped to all fours and left.
maldon > No food, so the bear left. That's photographer Louise Murray in the left of the picture.
maldon > Out on the tundra, there's these little guys, called "sic sic" because of the noise they make. But if you stop and leave the trailer to take pictures like this, you must have a guard.....
maldon > Closeup of the "goose boobies" cooking on the barbecue. I may have eaten better than we did at the lodge, but I can't remember when!!
maldon > That night, our last, we had "goose boobies" on the barbecue. Every year, hunters kill hundreds and hundres of Canada geese. They leave Mike a freezer-full of goose breasts. They are absolutely delicious.
maldon > And then at the window.
maldon > We saw lots of bears, including this mother and cub. We were careful to be with them for only a couple of minutes, so we didn't stress them.
