The Bear Attack
One day my buddy Ben and I got my snow machine and headed for the
Willow mine. We didn't take any gun even though we had heard of bears
in the area. We didn't think we would see any.
We had a small snow machine that went only about 45-50 m.p.h. When
we got near the air strip and Wilson Creek we saw a lot of water on
the Yukon River. So we decided to cross Wilson Creek where the slush
and water weren't so deep. When we got to the tundra on the other
side we saw about two feet of water on the river, so we had to go by
the tundra. We went up 4-5 miles when we saw a fox and some rabbits.
But so far we didn't see any bear.
When we got up to the landing we stopped to rest for about five to
ten minutes and we had some pop and candy. Then we started up the
trail. We stopped a few times on the way to rest, but it took us only
about 45 minutes to get up to the mine.
When we got up there we saw Chris, Damien, Kaaina, David,
Willie, Joel, Tina and our teacher, Frank. They were all surprised to see
us
and asked us how we came up. We said, "By snow machine, how else?" We
stayed up there for one or two hours with them. It was about five
o'clock when we left. Frank said to be carefull because there were
bears running around. We headed down the trail to the landing and
this time it only took us 25-30 minutes going down. When we got down
there we took a break and joked around, saying we wouldn't see a
bear.
From the landing, it took us 20 minutes to get to the tundra
because it had warmed up out there and there were more than two feet
of water. Then when we were only about five miles from the Willow
mine we saw a bear!
Ben got kind of scared when he saw it. I thought he was lying when
he first told me he saw that bear, and I got scared too and started
to speed up. We were two to three miles from Wilson Creek when the
bear came up to us very close. By then we knew it was following us.
When we got to Wilson Creek it was still following us. But after we
got across the creek the bear turned back.
By the time we got back to town we were relieved to be safe and
sound. And we learned our lesson always to travel in bear country
with a rifle.
