Anyone else run into an unforeseen issue?

Anyone ever have anything odd put an end to a search? I went looking for UV4443 today. I had waited for low tide since the station would be exposed and was looking forward to success until about a quarter mile from GZ I find this in the road:

Well – it did not put an end to our search, but it was close. See, the mark was in front of the door, however, just on the other side of the door was a scrumpdillyicious Peanut Buster Parfait – what to do – what to do?

Now that is what I call a 2-fer. The only problem is which to get first.

You got problems with Bears? I've met 20 or 30 bear. Never had a problem, outside of almost having a heart attack...

Actually, I've had real good luck avoiding bears. I attribute it to obeying posted signs, staying away from rivers during salmon runs and being very aware when the moose are calving. I also make lots of noise and always carry bear spray just in case. I've read a couple of cases where people do not obey these type of signs and bad things happen.

LOL! Like it!

We have over 3000 black bear in northwest NJ. It's a part of life if you want to go hiking. There are people who will not hunt for many of my caches becaue I mention that there are bear in the area. (I even tell you their names!)

But I've never met any while looking for benchmarks. Guess bear don't care about benchmarks?
