Memorial Day Bear Siting

Had a fun day this Memorial Day. Departed in SailYak from home and sailed on the approx path shown. Saw military jets fly low overhead, parachutists jump out of a helicopter, explored a new (to me) creek (Butler Creek) then ended it all with a bear siting (red stickpin on the map). She was a large black bear on the bank of the Smith River wandering slowly in the reeds along the bank. I got about 100 ft from her when she stood up and spotted me and then scooted away. My first bear siting in Reedsport. Very cool !
