Bearly not intersecting
The month was July or August and the year was either 1988, 1989, or 1990. I, Marcia, Tim, and Carrie were up at the cabin with my mother. I don't recall if we all drove together or if separately, but it was the five of us at the cabin for several days. This was in the old cabin.
Cabin, version 1.
Tim and Carrie were playing frisbee in the area behind the cabin. It was getting time for them to get ready for bed (as they were about 10 and 6). I went out and asked them to do a few more throws and then to come in. Several minutes later, they came into the cabin. Several minutes after that, a mother bear and two cubs walked right past the front window of the cabin toward the cabin next door. I was thankful that Tim and Carrie had heeded my request to come after a few more throws and not end up between the sow and the cubs.
