This week's envelope goes out to some great hiking pals. Anthony Joseph, his son and I shared one of the most memorable experiences of my life. We decided to plan a hike along the Appalachian Trail and during our hike, we stumbled across a "dropped" bear cub only a few days old.
We immediately were concerned about the dangers of encountering an angry mama bear but after a few hours watching from a distance, determined that mama was not likely coming back. There was something clearly wrong with the poor cub and it could not get up and move around. We debated for so long about what to do. We knew a ranger station was near by, so after much debate and realizing that either way, the cub would likely die if we didn't take him to the ranger station.
We wrapped him up and took him to the Rangers where we hope they were able to save him. The rangers seemed positive that they could help the cub get healthy.
I enjoyed this painting and like to remember the cute little cub in a healthy state like shown on my envelope. We hope he made it.
