It's a BEARY good life!

Most of you don't know but when we travel to Anchorage or beyond we travel through a small town called Cooper Landing. It is a rather dangerous part of the trip due to the curvy narrow highway and in summer, tourist whom do NOT use common sense!

Our trip home from Fairbanks was no exception. At one point,I had to come to a dead stop behind a small motor home that had decided to stop right on a curve. I am a very cautious passer so I had a little trouble getting around him. At one point Scott was telling me to go however I could see an oncoming vehicle in the distance so I wouldn't go. Scott started counting, 1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi in order to show me how much time there had been to pass, I in turn was cursing out the motor home because
THERE
WAS
NO
FREAKIN'
REASON
TO
BE
STOPPED
ON
A
FLIPPIN'
CURVE...

except,
maybe
THIS!

I can't believe we almost didn't see him. I am guessing his belly was full of fish from the nearby Kenai River and this sunny spot directly on the side of the very close, rather-narrow 2 lane road was the perfect place to take a nap!




I didn't get a wide angle shot to include the road, I wasn't thinking, but here is an accidental shot of a car passing between us.

Scott kept reminding me where my window buttons were in the event he got up and decided to take a walk(to my side of the road).
It really is a wild-life!
