We stayed at a place on the outskirt of Tahoe a few years back when my kids were little. We were on our way back to the room after a few games of post dinner ping pong and a dip in the heated pool. The women said, you might want to take a flashlight because the bears are on campus. I am thinking what are the chances that we see one? As we were walking back, it jumped off an 8' edge where they house the trash bins. The landing was dead silence with the exception of its nails. CLICK. It looked at us, and my kids had their dim flashlights (of course they left it on all day) shinning at this thing with two reflective eyes looking at us. This was the first time I was really scared, not of the bear, but it can attack my kids. The little one was 1 1/2 and the older boy was 3 1/2. I shouted from the top of my lung with arms waving making my fat ass look bigger ( I am not a big guy). He takes off the the back of the building, stopped and turned around to look at us. Again, all I see are the pair of reflective eyes. I was thinking, oh f'k. Three more steps and we were shielded by the wall and ran up stairs ASAP hoping the big fat bear did not follow us. He would have ripped us apart. Of course wife laughed at us and called us liars.
