Ok, that sounds like good advice, and I wouldn't really mention it, if I were walking in the Adirondacks or on wooded trails; it would have been obvious to even the most unschooled walker. But imagine my surprise when this evening, while walking along the well-lit town sidewalks, that was the advice I received from a passing motorist.
Well, I thought to myself, you don't hear that every day. I figured I'd just turn around and walk in the direction of the main town-square and the most populated neighborhoods. That didn't work exactly as I had planned though, since I found 8 police vehicles of various types, sizes and departments all lined up in the middle of town with more than 100 people gathered in clumps of 20 or so watching the other clumps and pointing off in the direction of back yards or, well, who knows where. Apparently that was the question of the evening-who knew where the bear was? It was sort of like "where's Waldo" without the pretty colorful pictures.
My walk went by quickly overall and the 'excitement' kept me distracted enough that I didn't really notice much of anything else. Go figure.
