As I was loading the boat at Glendale early yesterday evening, I got a call from my island neighbor. He was frantic...he and his wife had been walking the trails on Mark doing some cleanup, and at the top of the hill noticed that a medium size bear was following them. He said they tried walking away, but the bear continued to follow. They made it to the southern point, but the bear kept coming...he started yelling at it, even fired up the chainsaw he was carrying to try to scare it away...nothing worked...the bear got closer and closer. With no place left to go and no room to escape, he called me to extract them from the point. We pulled into the channel and they came running out to one of the docks...his chainsaw still running and revving. We picked them up, and as we were heading through the channel spotted it. I don't know if it was just curious or aggressive, but it scared the crap out of them. Another C-Nile rescue mission in the books! [emoji6]
