The other boat. Posted by Picasa

We ran into a black bear halfway into the tour and were able to drift in about 30m away from it. Another time 10x zoom came in handy. I have a shitload of photos but the bear didn't move a whole lot before it ran off so they are mostly the same.
Apparently it was quite rare to see a bear and even rarer in the middle of the day when they normally rest.Posted by Picasa

Boating at 40 mph Posted by Picasa

Klamath main street. The dog came on the Jet boat tour as well. The boat tour was a little more scenic than the one in Queenstown NZ but a little less extreme. They still did the spins and stuff. Saw lots of Osprey's a turtle, a wild horse and a bear. Bear is coming up. Posted by Picasa

On Sunday while waiting for our Jet Boat tour we did a bit of driving and walking around. This was Secret Beach north of Eureka. Notice the fog? It hung permanently off the coast on the first hills. When the temperatures rise in Reno inland, it draws the fog up the river and this waters the redwoods.
Did I mention this was bear and mountain lion country? Signs everywhere telling you what to do if you encounter them on the path. And all the rubbish bins were bear-proof too. Posted by Picasa

Mouth of the Klamath river. The other side is mostly Indian Reservations. This lookout was just up the road from the B&B. We stayed here to watch the sunset. Posted by Picasa
