Losing to a Bear....

......we did not find any caribou, so we turned the boat around and headed back down the river to retrieve the moose we had killed and hung up to cool earlier that morning.
As we came around the bend we saw a huge bear with half of the rib cage section in his mouth heading into the brush.
We quickly landed the boat on the shore. I was told to stay by the boat and protect the other hunters backs. At the time I did not know what they meant.
The other four hunters quickly entered the brush, tracking the bear as they went.
I could hear and follow their direction of travel by all the noise they were making.
It became very quiet, except for the sound of the river behind me. Then all at once I heard the other hunters yelling and shouting. Then it became quiet again.
My heart was pounding, and I was actually breathing very rapidly. What was going on........

Just a few sentences from Alaskan Adventure:Stories of our Bush Teaching Experience. You van find it http://www.mccainadventures.com/.

My Website........

My website is http://www.mccainadventures.com/.
Is there anyone out there that would like to take a look and make some comments about the site?
I would be pleased to view your comments.
I actually learned quite a lot by setting up this site and I had a lot of fun also.
It is interesting, to a "newbie", to learn what things like buttons, links,blocks, etc really are.

Good company to work with....

I ordered some of my childrens books from my self-publishing company,CreateSpace, to sell to friends.
When the books arrived today I opened the box they were packed in.
The company had packed them very well. The books were stacked three pointed in one direction and then three in another direction.
I had ordered a certain number of each of the four books.
I noticed that seven out of ten books in one title area had a deep groove on the spine. One book of another title had the same groove.
I was not going to be able to sell these in this condition.
I wrote the customer support of Create Space an e-mail and sent them a picture of the groove.
As I sent the email a pop-up came on the screen asking me if I wanted them to call me. I clicked yes.
They called me immediately. They were looking at the picture and stated that this could not have happened during shipping because of the way the books were packaged.
They felt it had to have happened during the printing of the books.
I was informed that they would replace all of the books and ship them to me by 2nd day air.
What a super company to work with!
