So, do you regret riding the bear? It sounds like great fun!
Probably not a Grizzly, I would imagine...
Don’t regret riding it a bit! It was obviously a hoot or I wouldn’t remember it some 50 years later! I have no idea what kind of bear it was.... just that it was a bear.
One time I held a rescued baby bear in my arms. It purred like a cat, and nibbled on my ear.
