Trail Camera......Grizzly



I have been pawing through the 

trail camera video files

and found something I forgot about...


When we travel we take our trail camera along.

You never know what you will see.





While camping in Southern Idaho

a Grizzly Bear filled up our trail camera

with images and video.
