There are Bears out here!

I almost forgot! BEARS really are out here! Hah! I went for a long walk in the woods the other day. It was peaceful, serene and much needed. I went the long way that takes me down hill for about a half hour and then up hill for another half. At that point, I'm 2/3 of the way and I hear noises smashing and crashing through the brush above me.
Oh MY GOD!~ Yeah, it was a bear cub about 10 - 15 feet above me and off to the left. Where was Mama and the other cub? No where I could see or hear, but OH CRAP! I was out there with no communication devices, no sticks, and my right arm in a big fat sling! I turned around and walked fast the other way, hoping that they never really saw me. I don't think they did, but I also knew that my exit to the housing development above was blocked. Unless I wanted to cross their path, I had no choice but to turn around.
I turned around and made noise~! I started yelling, then singing, then calling out for other humans as I beat feet back the other way. Oh my! I saw a couple joggers heading up that way. Warned them, and they continued on for a few feet. Hah! They turned around and went back the way they came too.
It was a lot of excitement for this recovering adventurist!
