On Waking Up Next To A Bear

Centre Square

"I hiked the Appalachian Trail. There were definitely times I wanted to give up."
-"You hiked the entire thing?"
"I did half of it, and my girlfriend got sick, so we wound up having to get off. It was awesome. I woke up next to a bear--I slept in a hammock tent and just woke up and the bear was sniffing me, and I yelled and it ran away. But it was kind of freaky having a bear next to ya."
