Sometimes the most simple days in nature make for the best times. This was exactly the case of my girlfriend and I's paddle on a sweet section of the Kootenay River in South Eastern B.C.
It's always nice to stumble upon wildlife but this particular encounter made me think. I stumbled upon this bear who had figured out a way to drink from plastic water bottles.
I grew up in Northeastern Ontario and learned a great deal about the geography and history of the area through the Scouting movement. Great experience.
